DIY seashell rings
Aren't these adorable? When we took our latest trip to the beach we brought home a few of our favorite shells. Mostly ones that were pretty colors. My daughter and I knew we somehow needed to make them into jewelry and we decided on seashell rings. I've also seen some of these on etsy and other websites selling for quite a bit, but I knew I could DIY these myself.

You will need:
hot glue gun and glue
E6000
adjustable ring blanks
seashell of appropriate size
Flip your seashell upside down. See how it has a bowl shape? That area needs to be filled in with hot glue so that your shell will attach to the ring blank securely and so that the shell doesn't scratch you while you are wearing it.
Put enough hot glue inside the middle of the bowl so that it is smooth and almost flush with the edges of the shell. Don't mind that it's different shells in the pictures. I switched off taking pictures of my daughters and my rings.
Once it is dry, put enough of your glue on the ring blank and glue it to the middle of your shell. Take into account how you want the seashell positioned for when you are wearing it. Let it dry for a few hours or so before wearing it.
I think this one is my favorite. It's from our trip out to La Jolla, California.
