Five Natural Crafts to Make Using Seashells

To make something useful out of your teeny-tiny, most picturesque shells, check out this seashell napkin ring tutorial from Crafts for All Seasons. It uses jute, which is thick enough to maintain its structure without a liner.

The best part of this craft is that it’s genuinely useful–sure, these napkin rings are cute for parties, but they would also make an excellent everyday setting for a summertime table.

I'm a writer, crafter, Zombie Preparedness Planner, and homeschooling momma of two kids who will hopefully someday transition into using their genius for good, not the evil machinations and mess-making in which they currently indulge. I'm interested in recycling and nature crafts, food security, STEM education, and the DIY lifestyle, however it's manifested--making myself some underwear out of T-shirts? Done it. Teaching myself guitar? Doing it right now.
