DIY Seashell Candle Holder Using Razor Clamshells

[Julia]

​

I hinted in my last seashell craft blog post about my seashell wreath that I was already planning to make a DIY seashell candle holder with razor clamshells. I have wanted to make something with these strange-looking clams for a long time. The only thing we ever used them for was when my daughter pretended they were her fingernails as a child on our beach trips or for the occasional sand castle fencing

I finally finished the project while also planning to furnish my kids’ two apartments with hand-me-down furniture (check it out if you missed it). I can’t believe my daughter is attending her sophomore year of college already.

Supplies needed to make this DIY seashell candle holder

• hot glue gun and hot glue sticks
