Beach Combing and Creative ideas with Shells

Today I had some time to comb the beach. I found some wonderful treasures. I am collecting driftwood and shells and all kinds of sponges and coral.
There are a lot of different shells to be found on the shore.
Take a look:






I collect them because I like them, but also to use them in home decorations and give my beach house a total beach interior, when it is renovated.
You can make a lot of fantastic decorations with all these fantastic free gifts of nature. I will show you what I have found this week and what you can do with it. The only thing that you need to buy,
but most people have that, is a glue gun.
Here are some other finds:






this one I found today, it was the biggest conch I have ever found (my hand is on the right)




I will start simply but the projects can turn into really expensive art (when you have to buy it)

Let’s start with a simple mirror that you can easily turn into a great piece of art






I just saved my chandelier to make this fantastic looking shell chandelier





And there is more……………what about a table……



What about a wreath.......





and a lamp……………




And an old sculpture…………



What about drift wood, isn’t it fantastic what you can make with drift wood………





I love this table………………



And the table Christmas tree, isn’t it adorable………………



I bet you want to join me on my next walk on the beach……… you are always welcome





I hope you like the treasures that can be found on the beach in the Yucatan………
