While we were at the beach I wanted to collect seashells to do some sort of craft. I wish we had collected seashells on our honeymoon, but we didn’t so for our second vacation together I decided we were getting seashells. I didn’t come home with as many as I wanted because there were not a ton at this beach, but I got enough to make a cute decoration for our guest bathroom. I bought everything I needed at the dollar store so this was an inexpensive craft (if you take out the cost of the vacation to get the seashells right? haha). I came up with this Dollar Store Seashell Craft and I love it!
Supplies:
-Small candle holders ($1 each at Dollar Tree)
-Candles ($1 each at Dollar Tree)
-Seashells
I played around with a few different ideas. I tried putting the seashells around the candles but I don’t think my candle holders were wide enough to make that work. So I decided to fill one small vase with the seashells and the other two with the candles. I created a really cute decoration for my guest bathroom that reminds me of the beach every time I see it. And it cost me less than $6, you can’t beat that right?
I love this simple and frugal seashell craft! So pretty!

This is perfect for us as we are headed to the beach this weekend with the kids and I’m looking forward to seeing what treasures we can find! Thanks for sharing at All Things Pretty!
These are nice. I love shells. When our son was married at the beach, I made something similar for his rehearsal dinner. Thanks for this example…I may need to make some this summer…they really do give a bit of the beach wherever we are.
Those shells look like they’re from North Carolina!
Love Dollar Store crafts. This is awesome and a great way to celebrate summer!

I love to pick seashells with my son but I have no idea what to do with them. I’ll try this after the next time we go to the beach. Thank you for sharing.
Yes I really wanted something to do to save our seashells. It’s so simple and easy.
