<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> You can find these lantern style tea light holders at most craft stores (also home improvement stores).<br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Simply attach any sort of sea shell or sea life to one or all sides of the lantern and you have an instant coastal theme!<br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Hot glue is probably the best way to adhere them to the glass. Depending on what type of lantern you use, you can also try putting shells inside for a different effect.<br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">They look absolutely gorgeous lit up just after sun down. They also look great at a Luau.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Here we incorporated branches from trees in our yard, some hot pink nylon ribbon and Heart Cockle (True Heart) seashells to make a gorgeous display.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
We placed three 1.5' branches so that they intertwined with each other and then loosely wrapped the nylon ribbon around. Then we placed the Heart shells at our discretion around the display.<br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The contrast of the dark branches and hot pink ribbon with the white shells looks amazing.<br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">You can use any type of shell that fits your theme however the Heart Shells are highly recommended!</span></span><br />

It is a perfect craft to share with the whole family.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
All you need is a length of rope (can be purchased or even better if you can find some old boat rope at the beach) and a selection of seashells and sea life.<br />
<br />
Using twine, start attaching your items at whichever interval you like and hang them from the rope. Starfish and Sea Urchins look great together. Cone shells and Scallops also look great in these displays.<br />
<br />
If you're having Christmas at the beach or just an ocean inspired party, this is definitely the perfect idea.<br />
<br />
Use your imagination and add accent pieces like in the photo... old wood, vintage glass and drift wood really complete this piece.</span></span><br />

<br />
Simply turn a scallop on its back and use it as a dish for salt, pepper or any other spices you may be using at the event.<br />
<br />
Make sure to thoroughly wash your shells before use (I usually boil them and quickly scrub them in the sink).<br />
<br />
Scallops come in a wide variety of sizes and colors and add a bit of sophistication to your event.<br />
<br />
Scallops usually will not lay perfectly flat so you can level it with rocks (shown) or even craft sand.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />

One of my favorite ideas is the Sea Urchin Planter. It can probably house any type of small plant however air plants work best.<br />
<br />
It works best with Sputnik Urchins (shown) due to their durability, however any type of Urchin should work fine.

<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The longer they are worn by the weather, the better they look! <br />

<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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).<br />
<br />
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.</span></span><br />

<br />
Using our White Shell Mix, you can turn an ordinary mason jar into a gorgeous vase.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.</span></span><br />

<br />
The neat thing about this display is that you can really easily customize it and make it your own. <br />
<br />
You can display shells you purchase or ones that you find. To give it character and dimension also include other small trinkets like wood cutouts or rocks.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
Simple "L" brackets keep this piece together as shown in the photo. You can stain or paint the wood to match your decor.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
