This is just one arrangement I made while on vacation using shells collected on the beach and arranged in the morning while everyone else was asleep and I was waiting on laundry. Nothing is connected, everything is just sitting on the table. I would love to recreate this to hang on my wall. Does anyone have some ideas short of glueing them to the wall in this fashion? Thanks, Lori  |

It is very beautiful.
I showed my husband and he told me about the worm tubes in the middle. He thinks the shells are like the ones we get in Victoria on the 90 mile beach.
He was saying to seal the shells. I didn't grow up near the beach so can't offer and ideas. Hopefully someone else can help.
Thanks for sharing.
I am going through my old Our House magazines, I may come across something in those.

Maybe hot glue them to a grapevine wreath and hang it on the wall?

Thank you ladies for the advice. I know it's a tough one  My entry way is devoted to the sea and I thought this would be a good one for the wall. I am going to see if the arrangement will fit on a rough board that I have and maybe glue them to it and hang it like that. Yeah those are worms  yucky but the shells are neat. I found alot of them on the beach. Godd idea to seal them. Thanks God Bless you |

Did you find a way to do this, cupcake? The only thing I could think of is to use a hot glue gun, as lynn said, and glue the arrangement on to a painted canvas, or a painted mdf board shaped as a heart or even a square.

I haven't done this yet violet. But that is a good idea you have. I have a really rustic piece of board I can do that to. I have to clean them first and seal them.
Thanks all for your advice.
