Seaside EleganceIf you want to add a subtle touch of the ocean to the bathroom, shells are the perfect accessory. This bowl of pretty neutral shells displayed on the bathroom's exposed shelf looks simple, classic, and clean.
Seeing Shells
Purchased for about $5 at a crafts store, this oval mirror already had holes for a ribbon hanger. Clamshells are ideal for this project because they are flat. Smaller shells add interest and fill in empty spots.
How to Make It: 1. First, lay out your shell arrangement. 2. Glue clamshells around the edge using maximum-strength epoxy. 3. Add smaller shells to complete the design and fill in any gaps.
