A clam shell like this would be just perfect for that!


HOW TO MAKE IT INSTRUCTIONS:
All you need is a sea shell, paper napkins, paint, glue and paintbrushes. You can use a clam shells or an oyster shells. If you don't live by the beach you can purchase shells from amazon or even on Etsy.
- First paint the inside of the shell white. Wait for the paint to dry before you proceed with the next step.
- You will need a decorative paper napkin. Any design you like will do. Make sure to only use the top ply of the napkin.
- Glue the napkin on with Mod Podge but be carful because the napkin can easily tear. Apply the 2nd coat of the Mod Podge on the top over the napkin and wait for it to dry.
- Remove the excess napkin and sand the edges.
- Paint the edges and the back of the shell. Metallic paint looks the best (I think).
