Seashell Mobile

This little mobile craft project is so easy to do and turns out so pretty that I couldn't resist posting it. It's also a great craft idea for kids to try out!

Items You'll Need:
- Seashells or other small, beach related items
- Several feat of string
- 2 pieces of dowel rod (or a few wire hangers)
- Strong glue

Instructions:
1. Use string and glue to form dowel rods into an 'X'
2. Cut string into varying length pieces and tie them to the ends of the dowel rods
3. Glue shells onto the strings and let sit until glue has hardened (if you have sand dollars, you can use the holes to tie the string instead of gluing it)
4. Use another piece of string to hang your new creation up!

Easy Seashell Decorative Bowl - Bring the Beach into Your Home!

I love this idea - it's so simple, yet so beautiful.

What you need:
- Large glass bowl
- Sand
- Seashells of various sizes

Instructions:
1. Pour out some sand into your glass bowl and arrange it so that it's covering the entire bottom of the bowl.
2. Pour sand into any shell that you can fit it. This is to weigh the shell down a bit so that it stays in place better.
3. Arrange shells however you wish in the sand in your bowl and you're done!

I have my own seashell bowl sitting on the coffee table, but this would be a great center piece for a dining room table or in your bathroom. You can also put some votive candles in the sand to give it a little romantic flair!
