Craft projects using seashells: Seashell Wind Chimes

Craft Supplies:
Assorted seashells, twine, craft glue, twigs or craft sticks.

Craft Instruction:
Arrange the sticks in a cross shape, and wind a small amount of twine around the center of the sticks to secure them together. Leave a circle of twine at the top to serve as a hanger. Tie a length of twine to each end of the crossed sticks. Cut each piece of twine to the same length and glue a seashell to the end. Tie four more pieces of twine between the end of each stick and the center of the wind chime. Make these four strings about the same length as well. Finally, add one more piece of twine from the center of the crossed sticks. The length of this piece can be shorter or longer than the rest. Add a large, pretty seashell to this string. Let the glue dry, then hang your wind chime where the seashells will tinkle together in a gentle breeze.

Craft projects using seashells:  Seashell Soap Dish

Craft Materials:
Large seashell or clam shell, three or four smaller shells, all about same size and glue.

Craft Instruction:
The shiny inside "bowl" of the clam shell or large seashell will become your soap dish. The three or four smaller shells should be glued on the outside, to act as legs and prevent the dish from overturning. Experiment with the position of the shells until you have an arrangement that will balance your soap dish securely then glue the smaller seashells in place. Allow glue to dry completely before using.
