First of all, thank you so much for all of your sweet comments about my painted jars! I’m always amazed at how some of my most simple and easy projects are the most liked. To continue with my beach theme bathroom project I decided to make some more accessories. 
A frame and candle embellished with crushed shells
Supplies:
Crushed Shells 
Mod Podge
White Paint
Unfinished Frame
Candle
Spray Adhesive
I don’t have it pictured but after applying mod podge to the frame I gave it a quick spray of adhesive just to make sure the shells didn’t fall off. 
I painted the frame, then once dried applied the mod podge, adhesive, and shells in sections. 
I used the same method with the candle, but unlike with the frame I had to allow each section to dry completely or the shells would roll right off. Trust me, I found out rather quickly that patience is important when doing the candle. 
And there you have it..a beautiful frame and candle for my guest bathroom
I hope everyone has a wonderful week! I will be studying for finals, but hopefully I’ll have a new recipe to post in a few days.

They are SO pretty!!! I have been working on a huge shell mirror for my bathroom (that my husband thinks is kind of crazy) and I love this version with the crushed shells! Thanks for sharing.

Great project. We are going to the beach in a few weeks and we always find tons of shells. This would be a great way to use some of them and make a keepsake of the trip.
