Is it cold where you live?  Are you dreaming of the beach?  Do you have a shell collection at home from trips to the beach?  Well maybe it’s time to make a project with some of them to help warm you up.

I am lucky to live in a place where it is warm all the time, and we can go boating and to the beach year round.  We have some of the best shells here too and I have collected my fair share of them over the years.  Here is a list of 10 Fun and Easy DIY Shell Projects you can make with your shell collection and, of course if you don’t have a shell collection, you can buy them online!

1. Broken Sand Dollar Project
