I always wanted to do something with the Blue Öyster Cult logo! I also love to pick sea shells on the beach (I must admit I never use them)... so I had an idea! Put them together!

You Will Need (9 things)
- 1 Sea Shell
- Blue Nail Polish
- Mod Podge or any varnish
- A Black Sharpie Marker for cds
- Hot Glue Gun
- Hot Glue sticks
- Jewelry Wire
- Jewelry Pliers
- Leather Cord
Steps (8 steps, 30 minutes)
-
1
Pick some shells on the beach. The bigger the better!
-
2
Pick one and paint it blue. I used nail polish because it's a little transparent and you can still see the shell's natural drawings.
-
3
Take sharpie (one for marking CDs) and write down the letters. I copied the typography, so you must google Blue Oyster Cult and you'll find the pattern! Finally I drew the symbol. I drew it directly on the shell without patterns or schemes.

I varnished it with Mod Podge. DO NOT USE transparent nail polish cause the letters will melt! Probably other varnishes will work too.

5
Once it's dried, make a hole with a gimlet. Be patient and do not force it because you can break it. It takes a while...
-
6
Insert a piece of wire and make a loop on the top to hang the pendant.
-
7
Fill the shell with hot glue. Make sure the wire is covered by the glue to avoid losing it. Let it dry.
Paint the glue with something. I used black nail polish cause the blue one was not dark enough.

Finally, add a ring and put a leather cord through it.
Welcome to the Blue Öyster Cult!
To set yourself in the right mood, listen The Congregation by Alice Cooper... :p (not the best song in the world but quite funny)
Yes! I finally made something with a shell!
