Seashell Craft {Seashell Skewers}

Hey party people!
Chances are you may end up at the beach this summer. Chances are, especially if you have children, you’ll end bringing home seashells. Those shells usually get tossed in a ziploc bag, then hidden in a closet somewhere. Instead of your shells taking up space, use them to enhance your summer entertaining. Here’s a fun seashell craft anyone can do…

Details make a party, and these seashell skewers are the perfect detail for a coastal cookout.
Here’s what you need…
1 | Glue gun
2 | Small wooden skewers
3 | Cleaned seashells (make sure you have several pairs that are the same size)
Before you start, you’ll need to clean the seashells. The smell of fish and honeydew do not go together.

Now you can begin putting the seashell skewers together.

Add a generous amount of glue to the bottom of one of your shells. Place the end (not the pointy end) of the skewer on top of the glue.  Add a little more glue on top of the skewer and then place a shell, about the same size, on top. Hold together until dry enough to let go.
There will be a small gap between the two shells. Don’t worry about that. As long as there was enough glue to hold the bottom together, it should be fine.

Add your tropical fruit to the skewers & set them out for others to enjoy.  It will be really fun sharing with your guests that you collected those shells on your recent beach trip.
