Beautiful Gold Candles Made Using Spray Paint and Sea Shells

Easy
We live next to the sea so every time we go for a walk I come back with some sea shells... I just think they are so lovely. I have a bag full at home and as I love to upcycle and re-use materials and things I already have I decided to make a little craft project using these.
Clean and dry the shells
I spray painted the seashells in gold colour (my favourite!)
I took some old tealight candles and removed the wicks and the aluminium cover. I put the wicks in the bottom of the shell, there is a little glue dot on the bottom which stuck nicely, poured the melted wax and let it cool down.
Once the candle had cooled down it was ready to be used.
