Super Simple Seashell Stars

Not too long ago, I received a big bag of shells from a friend's parents.  A handful of them were sitting on my table when inspiration hit!  They were lying in the shape of a star.

Add a little hot glue... and you get Super Simple Seashell Stars.

Here's the how to...

Select and Set out.
Choose the shells you wish to use and lay them out in a star pattern.  Some will work out better with 5 points, some with 6, depending on the size and shape of your shells.

Stick it to 'em.
Add hot glue where the shells will connect to each other and place them together.

Secure and Stable.
Extra hot glue added to the back adds to the stability of the star.  If you'd like to hang your creation, add a loop of ribbon or twine too.

Show off.
Display your Seashell Stars on a table, in a bowl, under a cloche, or wherever you like.

They can even be stacked...

hmm... looks like the beginnings of a Christmas tree... I guess we'll save that one for a snowy day!

For now, these Super Simple Seashell Stars are celebrating Summer!

Now a question for you...

Do you like them au natural or should I spray paint them white?

Thanks for dropping by.
