Recycled shells make great pedestal bowls

Can you tell that I love shells? I’ve been posting a some really great things you can do to and with shells. Today’s fun recycled project is so simple. All you need to do is glue two halves of oyster shells to each other back to back. In this case a candle is in the top half but I think you could use these for small items like rings or keys. This recycled shell bowl is part of a votive candle collection at the blog Fab Mood.
