Shell souvenirs

Send

Holidays at sea inspire creativity. Having taken home even a small handful of shells, you can create lovely souvenirs in the marine style.

Motif for top or blouseon
From the top to the top model (photo above): using a miniature drill, drill one hole from the inside and the outside in four sinks. Then sew the shells in the shape of a motif. An exclusive topic reminding you of a wonderful summer is ready!

Table weights
No matter where the wind blows from! Using a cord, tie several sinks into the bundle with a drilled hole. Tie the ends of the lace with a loop. Now, with the help of a clothespin or a clip for curtains, attach the weights to the edges of the tablecloth - and rest in the garden, in the fresh air will become even more comfortable!

Candle
It is very simple to create a summer mood at the table: put the wick inside the spiral shell and fill it with molten wax.

Table napkin
An ordinary napkin will become original and stylish if small sinks are sewn manually to its edges. To do this, in each of them it is enough to drill one hole.

Creole Earrings
Do you want to listen to the music of the surf again and again? Drill in shells of different shapes through a small hole and string them, alternating with beads, on rings for Creole earrings.

Card holder
You will need sculpting mass, scallop shells and cardboard cards. First, mold a round base from the mass, then, until the mass has frozen, deepen the two flaps of the scallop shell into it. Write the name of the guest on the card and insert between the leaves.

Photo frame
The best picture brought from vacation is the place of honor! Coat a regular wooden frame with wood glue and press small shells into it one at a time.

Bracelet
Why buy designer jewelry when you can do it yourself? On an elastic band the size of your hand, alternating with beads, string different sinks (in each drill 2 holes).
