Glue It Skill level Easy for anyone who can stay with the gluing (hey, it's therapeutic, even a little addicting)
Time A weekend (about three days-including many breaks, don't worry)

Gather the Goods
1 can primer spray paint
8 to 10 bags of mixed shells (small to medium size)
Tweezers or needle-nose pliers
Glue gun and about 20 glue sticks
About 3 feet of rope (for cord cover)
6 beeswax candle covers
6 paper chandelier shades Prime the chandelier so no brass shows through. Cover entire fixture with seashells, placing with tweezers and securing with glue. Replace standard candle covers with beeswax candle covers. Wrap rope around cord, and tie at top. Note: When applying shells to the base of the chandelier, it's best to create a pattern by using only one or two types of similar shells. Leave the rest for the arms for a random, hodgepodge effect. |
