Scallop Shell Bookends

"Add coastal flair to your home with these DIY scallop shell and concrete bookends! This fun upcycling project uses large scallop shells decorated with a blue Sharpie and decoupaged with ocean-themed napkins. The shells are set upright in concrete poured into small round molds made from recycled containers. Once cured, the concrete is painted and finished with additional napkin decoupage for a fresh, beach-inspired look. Perfect as bookends or unique doorstops, these creations bring the relaxing vibe of the sea indoors. An easy, budget-friendly summer craft, these bookends are a great way to use shells collected on beach trips and add personal style to your decor."
