Today’s craft was inspired by seashell place card holders I saw on Joss & Main months ago.   They were a pretty penny so I decided to DIY them and I’m just thrilled with how they turned out.  If you have seashells and a dremel tool laying around you can make these now!  They are super easy and only take about five minutes. 🙂

Supplies:

Seashells

Dremel with a saw blade attachment

Gold sharpie or pen

I chose 8 seashells out of my ridiculous collection of dead sea critters (happy to use them in an utilitarian way) and sweetly asked my husband to drill a slit in the top of each one.

To add a little detail similar to the Joss and Main ones, I traced the openings with my gold sharpie. 

They are perfect for our Coastal Thanksgiving table setting that I will be sharing tomorrow!  The texture is amazing and I added pheasant feathers for an extra layer.  Gorgeous!

Have you thought about your holiday table setting yet?  Do you enjoy coastal decor?
