  1. Centerpiece

Shells look very lovely as decoration so they’ll look even more gorgeous if used as a centrepiece. Fill a large clam shell with potting soil then add any flower or plant that you like. Cover the soil with smaller shells as decoration then place the entire piece at the center of the table.

  1. Soap Dish

If you happened to collect a particularly large clam shell, you can use it as a simple yet lovely soap dish. You’ll only need half of the clam shell for this. Attach a suction cup or something similar at the bottom of the shell to keep it from slipping off.

  1. Shadow Box

Creating a seashell shadow box is something close to art. Simply fill a shadow box with seashells, sand, pearls, or anything else you want. Use a variety of seashell types and sizes to make the piece look even more gorgeous. Display the shadow box anywhere in your home for a unique decorative piece.

  1. Candles

It’s very easy to make seashell candles on your own. And the best part is that you can choose whichever scent you prefer. Simply melt some wax and add your preferred essential oils. Place a wick at the center of the seashells then fill it with the melted wax. Once it dries, you can use the seashell candles for display or for lighting up a fun evening.

  1. Album Cover

Dedicate an entire photo album to a particular vacation and glue a seashell you collected from that trip on the cover. Use the seashell to label the album according to the vacation you took. Apart from albums, you can use seashells to decorate the cover of your journal and notebooks.
