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)

Description

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)

Instructions

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

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

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

  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!
