Can you take one more blue and green blog entry? I found this sweet little DIY project on iVillage and I wanted to share it with you!
How to make a shell shadow box
The article suggests using an old utensil box or buying a small shelf. IKEA used to carry similar.
The vase is filled with beach glass.
(If you're far away from the coast, use coloured decor glass beads that you can find at the florist or home accessory shops.)
The whole article and slideshow with more ideas for making stuff with shells can be found here: iVillage - Shell Crafts
The tiny shelf is an easy-to-make project that can be used for other kinds of displays as well. Paint it cream or very pale pink if you like the shabby chic look, shiny dark red if you've got small Chinese items, matte black to display an all-white ceramic collection, rusty orange for African or Middle Eastern displays, mossy green for retro stuff...
