Conch Shell Tie-Back for Curtains DIY

So you know when you're on the beach looking for shells and you come across what you think is a whole conch shell? It goes something like this: "Ooh it's my lucky day! I finally found one!"  but alas, it was a fake. Instead you have a conch shell with a hole through the middle (it reminds me of an old fashioned sword handle).

It looks like this:

Well, keep it! There is an artsy use for it

and it looks like this:

 

Materials

• A "broken" conch shell / Una caracola "roto"
• Curtain / Una cortina
• Something to attach to wall, i.e. a tack / Algo para sujetar al pared, por ejemplo una tachuela

Step 1

      Enjoy yourself at the beach and go shelling, bring home a "broken" conch shell.

Step 2

      Clean the shell of all sand and salt.  String the curtain through the middle and adjust to the point that you like. I used a tack in the wall to hang the shell but you can do whatever you want to keep it in place.

      Se limpia la caracola de la arena y sal.  Se pone la cortina por el medio y se sujeta al lugar que querías.  Se pone una tachuela en la pared para colgar la caracola en la pared.

El fin!

Mosaic Breakfast Tray DIY

      Since I'm back, I've been posting 2 to 3 times a day.  I told you I was inspired and to be prepared because the floodgates have been opened!

      Technically I did this project for my mom for Christmas but I did not have a chance to put the tutorial on the blog until now.  Since I've been so busy posting, I figured "why not add one more thing and post this one too?"  And so here it is :)
