Little Sand, A Few Shells and a Jar

This is a very quick and easy "craft". I've seen these in little specialty shops out here in Virginia for sale! I'd never buy anything like this but I definitely can do it myself.

I had a mason jar and sea shells. Oh we have sea shells. My daughter use to collect them mostly by buying them, a bunch of them, for a $1.00 at the swap meet in Hawaii. We picked up a small bag of sand from the beach last week.



I added a candle to the big one. It is a small votive candle and it is in a small candle holder - here's hoping the wax does not drip on the sand. If I find that's a bad idea, I'll come back and post.

**okay the candle didn't work out well - if you use a votive candle be sure it's in a full votive candle holder. The one I used was not the same size as the candle so some wax did overflow into the sand. Good thing I have more sand! LOL **



I'm trying to "decorate" our master bathroom. I'd like to find a couple of (cheaper) artistic prints to hang in there but so far I'm coming up with nothing. I'm starting with the nautical beachy theme (not like tropical beach as we had in Hawaii but more Nantucket like I guess)

Shari, you need to frame some of those photos I saw on your 'blog with no name' for your bathroom. They are gorgeous and would be 'nautical/beachy' enough for your bathroom.
