The kids made these for Christmas gifts this year and they were just gorgeous!
The shells were quite dull and covered in periostracum so we prepared them first by cleaning them (see post). Once they were cleaned and dried the kids drilled two holes (without too much pressure so they didn't break) at the bottom of the shells. Then they cut different coloured paper to fit and punched holes in the paper. Tie together with string and now you shell never be without a notebook again ;) Oh and another point to mention was I made the kids wear dust masks while they were drilling as i don't thing shell dust is all that good for you :)
