Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 – Clean the Seashells
Wash the seashells with warm water and let them dry completely. Clean shells look brighter and more beautiful inside the glass.
Step 2 – Prepare the Glass Jar
Choose a clear glass jar or candle holder. Transparent glass works best because you will see the shells and the candle light.
Step 3 – Add Sand
Pour a layer of sand at the bottom of the jar. This helps hold the candle in place and gives a real beach look.
Step 4 – Arrange the Seashells
Place the seashells around the inside of the glass jar. Try to place the most beautiful shells facing outward so they can be seen from outside the glass.
You can add a small drop of hot glue to keep some shells in place if needed.
Step 5 – Place the Candle
Put a tea light candle in the center on top of the sand.
Step 6 – Final Touch
You can add:
- Small stones
- Rope around the jar
- A ribbon
- A little dried plant decoration
Then light the candle and enjoy the beautiful coastal atmosphere.
