What do i do with all my sea shells?

Question

My family and i went to the beach this summer and brought home a BUNCH of shells. Now there sittin on the floor. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Why not use them to decorate a bath?Put a bunch in a wicker basket,with an air freshener under the shells.Place a few larger shells  around the bath strategically(soap dish).Add some decorative towels that match the color scheme of the room(hopefully it's a light color).Add a light house if desired.

Good luck,hope this helps

I don't think using your shells(memories) is tacky.

Answer 2

Drill small holes in them and put them onto string to make mobiles and wind chimes. Thats what I did and I think they do look nice! And it would be helpful if they already had holes in them! Have fun!!

Answer 3

take them back to where they belong....poor shells

Answer 4

Last year i had a bunch of sea shells and I made soap dishes out of them for my friends and also jewelry out of the little ones.

Answer 5

Well, IMO seashell art for the most part is tacky, but I have a little seashell bunny that is neat though. Maybe something like this?
