Materials

Shells
A wood plaque or base
Hot Glue Gun
Mod Podge Gloss 
Glitter

Tutorial

Paint/Stain the wood base.

Start by gluing the shells to the sides of the wood base.

Move onto Layer 2. This time start where the shells overlap.

For your third layer glue the shells to the joints between 2 shells in the previous layer as shown in the picture.

As I was starting the innermost layer I realized that there was a gap between the 1st and 2nd layers. So I added another layer in between. Also it is good idea to just keep a pillar candle in the center while you are working so that you leave enough of an opening in the middle.

Time for ModPodge Gloss. Coat both the inside and outside of the shells.

Once the Mod Podge is dry I went back with more Mod Podge just on the edges of the shells. Before the glue dries apply the glitter to the edges.

Shake off the excess glitter. You can brush the stubborn glitter off with a paint brush. And that’s it! Your own piece of handmade beach decor.
