Pattern requirements:
Skill level: easy
Time: 10-15 minutes

Yarn and hook: For this project you should consult the label of your yarn/thread. It always gives information about recommended hook sizes. For both patterns I used a fine cotton thread / crochet yarn (less than 0.35 oz / 10 grams- depending on the length of your project of course) and 1.9 mm (B1-E4) hook.

Left over yarn is perfect for this kind of project.
Gauge: not important for this project.

Used terms: chain (ch), slip stitch (sl st.), single crochet (sc), sc in back loop only (BLsc), half double crochet (hdc),double crochet (dc), front post dc (FPdc).

Some ideas how to use these adorable shells:

• make a mobile
• use as appliqués and sew onto pillows, blankets, dresses, cardigans and other pieces of clothing
• make children’s jewelry with them like brooches, pins, beautify headbands
• use them as ornaments (summer sea –themed party) or maybe to decorate your beach hats and bags
• make banners and garlands, etc.
