Shells in a Vase DIY


Do you have extra seashells just lying around the house? I do and quite an abundance of them. Well, here is a pretty cool idea on how to put those shells to use!
~*~*~*~
Usted tiene conchas marinas por la casa? Las tengo y hay muchas.  Aqui es un idea buena para usarlas!


You only need a glass jar or vase, fill it up halfway with shells, add water, and find some pretty flowers to make it beautiful :)
~*~*~*~
Simplemente se necesita un tarro de cristal o un jarrón, se pone las conchas marinas adentro, se pone agua y flores bellas!

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.

      Se disfruta un día a la playa y recoja una caracola "roto".


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!

String of Shells DIY

Pin It

     

     The beach is a large part of me, since I am a mermaid at heart, and so one of the things that I love to do is collect sea shells.  After awhile I came to realize that I have more shells than I know what to do with! So I started coming up with projects for them. This project is how to make a string of shells :)
~*~*~*~
      La playa es un gran parte de mi personalidad, porque estoy una sirena en mi corazón, y por eso unas de las cosas que me gustan juntar son las conchas marinas.  Después de unos años de coleccionando, se me da cuenta que tengo más conchas que yo sé para hacerlo!  Por eso, empezaba hacer proyectos con ellas. En éste proyecto, describo cómo hacer una cadena de conchas :)

See the DIY after the jump!
