Since I live on a bay, we’ve got tons of snail shells waiting to be collected. Our fridge felt empty so I made a bunch of these! (Some of the pictures are big. Click to see full size)

You Will Need (3 things)

  • Elmer's Glue
  • Shell s
  • Magnet(s)

Steps (4 steps, 15 minutes)

  1. 1

    Go seashell picking! Make sure you don’t pick the ones with snails still living in them…

  2. 2

    Cut magnets into squares a little bigger than the seashell you are using.

  3. 3

    Put glue inside the seashell opening and make sure to fill up all the way. Then place seashell on the magnet.

  4. 4

    Once dry, cut off the extra pieces of magnet in the shape of the shell and stick to your fridge, locker, radiator, or anything magnetic!
