Etceteras: shell tacks

Last week I posted about all the shells I had found at the beach and the specimen board that I made.

I still have a jar full of shells and thought it would be fun to make some tacks with them.

These are just about the easiest thing to make. Just glue a thumb tack to the inside of the shell and let dry.

I cut some of my water color painting scraps, clippings and fabrics to pin to this small board. 

Now I can enjoy a bit of summer year round.

    You have such nice style Carolyn. I love these and the way you used the twine- so simple, yet elegant.

    Some of the simplest crafts are my favorites - what a fun way to use the shells you found.
