Depending on how many you have, you can cover the outside of a container or wastebasket or even a liquid soap dispenser. Arrange your shells according to size, even the pieces. Attach them with a hot glue gun in an attractive way.



Another thing you can do is to get a net, some may be at sporting goods, craft stores etc. A badminton net would probably a good choice if you can't get anything else. You can make an attractive shower curtain by gluing on a few of your shells with fabric or craft glue.to the net and attaching the net on the outside of your shower curtain.
Reply:find a cute print or take a snapshot and glue the shells to the frame



shells can be cute drawer pulls
Reply:I have my room decorated as "hawaii" themed, I actually framed my bathroom mirror with my shells... I always get compliments from anyone who uses the bathroom. I've also gotten a few "I hate you! Your bathroom is beautiful!"



I always smile when I see it too!!!
Reply:You could put them in a clear vase or clear glass bottle or something and put fake flowers in it. Idk, i think it'd be cool. :-)
Reply:Two good ideas on this site and complete with instructions.http://www.homeschoolzone.com/pp/crafts/...

It's very satisfying making something out of things you find isn't it?
Reply:Use them to make a mosaic on something. A box or a picture frame or mirror frame/ Just use a good glue to attach them to the surface in any kind of pattern you want. Let that dry real well like 2-3 days. While you're waiting for that go to any tile supply store Lowe's or Home Depot would do, get some grout. It comes premixed in a small tub. follow the directions.
