Seashell Flowers


Seashell Flowers

Very cool flowers you can make from seashells!

Craft Project Directions:
To make seashell flowers you will need smaller seashells (preferably flat ones which look somewhat like flower petals), liquid white glue, and some pipecleaners.

To begin take a seashell and squeeze a large amount of glue into the inside of the shell at its narrowest point. 

Now place one end of a pipecleaner into the glue to begin to form your flower petals. Repeat many times and let dry.
When the glue has dried completely twist as many of the pipecleaners with shells attached together as you like to form flowers. Twist a shell to the stem of your finished flower to create a leaf. 

Enjoy Crafting!
