Scallop Shell Trinket Dishes

These unique trinket dishes are made by using discarded scallop shells. They are so easy to do and are truly adorable, they also make a lovely present. To keep with the seaside theme I added a bit of quirkiness to my trinket dishes by attaching a little sea creature. Also as I can’t resist a bit of Marimekko I decoupaged the outside of shells to make them even more lovely.

Step 1

Spray paint the inside of your scallop shells. Metallic paints look great.

Step 2

Decoupage the outside of the shells with a paper napkin

Step 3

Spray paint a sea creature figure the same colour as your shell and stick it into the centre of the shell

Step 4
