with a simple jar of shells or a ball of shells.
Both are very easy to make.
And also a great project for the kids to create for gifts.
Today I am showing you how to DIY the shell jar.
But I'll share how to create the ball further through the post.
You will need a selection of shells in various shapes sizes and colours.
A jar with a lid.
I'll be recycling a coffee jar.
Scrub the jar clean and remove any printed writing with a steel pad and soapy water.
spread the shells onto newspaper outside in a well ventilated area.
This brings out the beautiful colours in the shells.
Leave to dry.
Large first then smaller ones.
all you need is lots of shells, a polystyrene ball in size of choice, a glue gun, and gloss spray varnish.
Step one: glue shells all over the poly ball.
Step two: Remove excess glue strings.
Step three: Spray with clear gloss.
And that is it...
you have created a shell ball.
Which is a perfect decor partner for the Shell jar.
