Click for larger image
If you're looking for an easy way to decorate your beach house or nautical themed space, these mobiles/chimes are perfect!  You can use virtually any type of seashell or beach related item to make these your own.

~ Take a length of twine or string and using the image as a guide, attach your shells and other trinkets via a drilled hole, tied or glued. Repeat this two or three times.


~ Tie one end of the string to a small piece of drift wood or branch and let hang.


~ Seashells, twigs, rocks, feathers and glass all make great additions!

Seashell Garden Markers

Click for larger image
If you're like me and hate store bought garden markers, this is a fantastic way to mesh your love of gardening with a nautical feel.

Take an old (or new) wooden stake and paint or stain to suit.  Glue one 2" or 3" shell at the top of the stake and don't forget to paint (using stencils or freehand) your plant names.

The longer they are worn by the weather, the better they look!

Tea Lights With Seashell Accents

Click for larger image
This idea is great for ocean themed parties or a romantic evening with your significant other.

On a bed of sand, place tea lights in glass jars (or any other holder you like).  Use Scallops and Clams to accent the candles and give it a sophisticated touch.

If you want a beautiful variety of shells, try our White Seashell Mix - you get 24 medium sized shells for only $2.50 (price is accurate at time of posting).

Jo-Ann's or Michaels will probably have the best candle holders or a simple glass jelly or mason type jar will work great as well.

Mason Jar Vase w/White Shell Mix

Click for larger image
If you are looking to spice up your wedding or other event, this is a quick and easy way to do just that!

Using our White Shell Mix, you can turn an ordinary mason jar into a gorgeous vase.

Depending on the size of your jar, you will probably need one bag of our White Shell Mix per jar.  Fill your jars about 1/3 with the shells and then arrange your flowers as you normally would.

Leaving this extra space in the jar gives it a more refined look.  You could try using a little bit of sand at the bottom to give it more of a beach look.
