I'm bringing you some terrific shell crafts because I know many of you happily pick up shells from the seashore and hoard them away with intentions of "some day I will do something great with those."

There should be something for you, whatever the size of your collection, in this list of shell crafts.

(You actually don't need a mold if you're confident enough to make it directly in a shaped depression you make in the sand.)
