I've seen these in Prince Edward Island selling for twenty dollars each for mini shells! Other bloggers have seen them sell for upwards of 1k when dipped in silver.
This guide tells you to use silver spray paint, but improvement stores also sell pewter spray paint that could give it a more vintage feel! Try it out and let me know how it works for you! I am planning on trying it in January after my large shells come in.
Tip: The Christmas Tree Shop also sells bags of large shells for $5.00 in the summer. If you can wait stop in and pick them up then. Shells can add up! And who says you have to stick with silver? The colors are endless! Hot pink shells, Yellow any way to tie in your color scheme!
When spraying the shells make sure you have newspaper or tarp under them. It would be best to spray outside because of fumes and wear a face mask. Also, scrub the shells in case they are dirty or have sand in them. Hold the spray can about a foot away from the shells to avoid dripping and let them dry. voila!
You get an expensive look for less!
