When I was a kid, I loved going to the beach to pick up the seashells to make my own jewelry. Even now. Seashells are a favorite of all beachgoers, whether they are children or adults.  They’re also wonderful for crafting.  Here are a few things you can make with them:

* Magnets - Simply glue a magnet to the back of a seashell.  This will serve as a reminder of the fun you had at the beach every time you walk by the refrigerator.

* Picture frames – Glue some seashells to a picture frame, and decorate with paint, glitter, and stick-on jewels.  This makes a wonderful gift!

* Jewelry - Seashells make lovely jewelry.  Carefully drill small holes in seashells (or poke them with a needle if they are delicate enough), and thread them onto fishing line.  Add some beads if you like to make a necklace or bracelet.  You can also buy ear wires at a craft store and use seashells to make dangle earrings.

Here are just some of my ideas on how to use seashells to create beautiful crafts. Have fun.
