DIY: Shell Jar

This one is easily my favorite of my recent DIY tutorials! :D I currently have it in the bathroom to hold cotton balls and I love it! Of course you don’t have to use shells. If you have any beads from broken jewellery or some pretty stones you could use those instead.

What I used:

  • Candle Jar
  • Filler 
  • Sea Shells (you can get these from places like e-bay)
  • Gems
  • Clear Nail Varnish (any will do)

Hope you like the video :D

    Great tutorial Klaire! :) I’m so inspired to create my own brush holders now, only I would probably use punky spikes and stuff like that instead of sea shells. Thanks for inspiring me!

    Hey Klaire!

    Tomorrow is my 16th birthday. And y’know what would make my day? Is if you did a HUMONGOUS favor for me. Don’t worry, it’ll be fun for both of us :)

    Basically, I’m writing a book for my Creative Writing class. I’m through chapter 8 and I thought…y’know what would be fun? If Klaire read it! You’ve said multiple times that you love to read, so I thought I’d give it a shot and ask :) It’s a fantasy with a lot of action, suspense, dark magic, and a little romance here and there ;)

    Email me if you’re interested!(please please please?)

    Also, sorry for the completely unrelated comment… I would have commented on your New Years resolutions blog post, but I figured the odds of you seeing this might be better if I commented on a more recent post :)

    Thanks so much!

    -Abby
