My granddaughter, Jamie, was at Ocean City one weekend and came home with shells to make this adorable Sea Shell Owl. You may not find exactly the same sea shells, but keep your eyes open and bring home lots of shells to pick out the best ones for your own unique creation.

Trivia:

 Sea shells  are the protective casing around sea creatures called mollusks. Unlike humans, mollusks have their skeletons on the outside of their bodies.

• Tacky Glue or Hot Glue Gun

• 3 Decorative Buttons or Beads for nose and feet

Instructions

1. Select best shell type for body. Make sure it is clean and shiny.
2. Glue small matching shells onto the body with outside of shell showing for wings.
3. Glue small matching shell to the top of the body shell with the inside showing. Position so that tips of shells meet. Use picture for reference.
