I hope you’ve been enjoying my nautical series as much as I have! I love seeing all of the crafty ideas from so many creative bloggers for easily achieving the coastal decor and beachy style everyone loves! Today’s theme? Seashell Decor!

Seashell Decor -- 10 DIYs for your nautical beach home decor style!
So far, I’ve shared how to decorate with starfish, anchors, rope, sailboats and driftwood. And I also collected some pretty cool tutorials for how to make your own faux coral, seashells and even faux driftwood. And I’m not done yet!

Make this candle centerpiece and it will be the center of attention at your next gathering! I love the creative use of oyster shells!

Using shells you’ve gathered over time, or shells you’ve purchased at a craft store, you can create these polymer clay tags to use as ornaments, gift tags or party favors!

You’ve probably seen this shell candle idea in some high-end home decor catalogs along with a high-end pricetag. Why not make your own?

This last image isn’t a tutorial, but when I pinned it onto a Coastal Decor board on Pinterest, it immediately was repinned over and over again, so I had to share it here. The shells are so beautifully arranged around the candle in this trifle dish!
