Scallop Shell Trinket Dishes

Pillar Box Blue

These unique trinket dishes are made by using discarded scallop shells. They are so easy to do and are truly adorable, they also make a lovely present. To keep with the seaside theme I added a bit of quirkiness to my trinket dishes by attaching a little sea creature. Also I decoupaged the outside of shells to make them even more lovely.

Materials

  • Scallop Shells - If you don't have any, you should be able to get these from your fishmonger, or even scallop dishes at the supermarket/deli are sometimes served in the shells
  • Plastic Sea Creature
  • Spray Paint
  • Glue
  • Napkins for Decoupage

How to make it

Step 1: Spray your sea creature and the inside of your shell the the colour of your choice, metallic colours work best.

Step 2: Decoupage the outside of your shell with paper napkins. Full details of the best way to do this is on my blog.

Step 3: Stick your sea creature into the centre of your shell.
