A Shell Bowl from a Beach Walk
The shells you collect in July look like clutter by August. Turn them into one object you'll keep for years.
Steps
- 01Choose 8 to 12 of your favorite shells from the collection. Discard the rest.
- 02Wash gently with warm water and a soft brush. Dry completely.
- 03Find a small ceramic or glass dish — 12 to 15cm wide.
- 04Mix a strong PVA glue or use a hot glue gun.
- 05Glue shells around the rim of the dish, slightly overlapping. Work outward in concentric layers if you want depth.
- 06Let dry 24 hours. Use as a key dish, a ring dish, or a small soap holder by the sink.
