Any ideas for making something cool out of sea shells?

Any ideas for making something cool out of sea shells?
I raised 3 girls who were always bored. SOOO I came up with a lot of cool things to make out of worthless or minimal cost stuff.Here is one really fun thing we did on a cold winters day.We took a flat plastic box that vitamines came in. We glued macaroni in a design on the top. Then we sprayed the whole thing with gold paint.Another one glued sea shells on the same kind of box. Then we coated the shells with clear gloss nailpolish. These turned out so cute the girls ended up making 15 "keep it" boxes for Christmas gifts.We also did the same process on small plastic glasses to hold pens on your desk by your PC. Get creative- all kinds of macaroni are beautiful when painted!

Reply:Put them as curtain trimmers, in shadowboxes, as a bracelet for a toddler, a napkin wrap, a necklace. Put them in the bottom of vases, and then water and flowers on top.
Reply:put them in a glass hurricane with a big pillar candle. beautiful!
Reply:candles. go to marthastewart.com i think it's under crafts, but there are instructions on there as to how to do it. on her homepage you can actually type in "shells" on her search engine and you get a bunch of crafty ideas.
