Collecting seashells is one of the best parts of going to the beach. If you're looking for clever ways to reuse those found seashells, check out this list of amazing things to do with seashells.

Candle Crafts

Candle holders are all but necessary for all things entertaining! Fill a glass jar with sand and place a candle in the center. Did you know that the sand acts as a fire extinguisher? Super safe! Wrap the candle holders with twine, and hot glue your prettiest seashell on the front of it.

Seashell Wreath

If you have an old pool noodle laying around, or a foam wreath, you already have the basis for your DIY seashell necklace! Once you have a base, simply hot glue your seashells directly on to your wreath. Hang yours indoors or out, and even add a ribbon for a nice accent!

DIY Christmas Ornament

Alright, alright! You caught me. This isn’t exactly a DIY project, but I’m sure you could squeeze a few of your found seashells into this “kissing” Christmas ball. Fill a wooden ball with dried moss and seashells for a perfectly coastal Christmas decoration.

There are so many things you can make with seashells you find at the beach. If you're looking for clever ways to reuse those found seashells, check out this list of amazing things to do with seashells.

Tea Light Centerpiece

This might not be the best project for you if you don’t have a set of seashells large enough! But if you do, don’t hesitate! You’ll need a shallow tray filled with sand to keep the seashells upright, and a few tea light candles. Stick your shells into the sand, and then add a few tea light candles to the center of your shells. Talk about mood lighting!
