Crafty-ness with Seashells

Time flies so fast! I didn't even post a single article last month. I got busy supervising some renovations and fixing the drainage around the cottage. Anyway, moving on, I did a couple of DIY projects with my seashell collection, used jars and driftwood that were just lying around for sometime. My facebook friends already know these as I've already posted the photos on my wall. Anyway, here are the simple beach decors that I made...

I put together the different kind of seashells in an empty used jars and placed a Manila hemp twine to complete the beach inspired look of it. I got the seashells from a nearby beach where I also go for surfing and used recycled containers. This project is so easy to make, I finished this in just two hours. :)

The other one is made of a driftwood and of course, seashells. Aside from collecting dust, this driftwood has been sitting for a while as my hat hanger. The seashells were collected from different beach trips around the country (Iloilo, Davao, Sorsogon). The candleholder that I used are capiz shell from Isla de Gigantes in Iloilo, got this in 2011.

I am happy that I was able to put my collection in good use. Hope you are, too! :)
