  • Question
    Do I have to put clear nail polish or mineral oil on my shells?
    Community Answer
    No, but oiling them will keep them shiny and strong.
  • Question
    Can I use wire instead of string?
    Community Answer
    Wire does not sway or move like string does, so if you want the shells to move in the wind you shouldn't use wire. But if you just want something to hang shells on, wire is a good choice.

    Use a cloth to wipe away the cobwebs and use water and a sponge to clean away the dust.
  • Question
    Do I hang the larger shells at the top or at the bottom?
    Community Answer
    Put the larger shells on the bottom because the large shells are heavier than little shells.
  • Question
    How do I make the knot between the shells to keep them separated?
    Community Answer
    Just take the string and make a loop under the shell, pull the rest of the extra string through the loop and pull. Keep doing this until the knot is bigger than the hole in the shells.

    You can use whatever size you want. Just be cautious, because the smaller ones tend to be sharp.
