It's not a seashell but still a product made in the sea - sea urchin - a dry one. Very flexible object and looking good as a candle holder. Definitely a catch for a sea theme party like this one below together with light blue star fish plate. Isn't beautiful? I found it at retif in 2 sizes also with little seashell cups (not in picture, maybe later). I am working on a table with a summer theme and I think these items are just made for it.

I found out that you can make anything out of a seashell... like a frame or decorate a present... or a simple napkin holder. I found a double shell ideal for holding something. And, because the pearl was already taken, I just stuffed it with a napkin:) So much for living so close to the sea and keeping every treasure that it spits out. I'm too much under the influence of the the area and my collectivism as well.

Look what I found at the beach... well, not the whole frame but the seashells on it:). It cost me a lot of work to make it look like this. I was searching for the right shells for couple days. The mission was simple... walking on the beach and looking for shells in same size! The outcome of couple beach walks... seashells of different sizes for couple more frames, a lot of colorful sea-glass, rusted metal wheel, rusted key, an old metal spoon (maybe from a shipwreck), and Darren rolling eyes by all that junk that was spread out on our dining table for a while, hehe.
So, how it goes? The process is very easy and you just need couple items - wooden frame with a mirror or without (you can make a picture frame for example), hot-glue gun, and couple shells. Don't use the glue right the way. First, spread out the shells around the frame the way you want it. Than, it's time to use the gun:). Take the first shell positioned on the frame and apply a little bit of hot glue around its edge and attach it quickly back to the wood frame, one after each other. Have fun!!!
