How to make it
Only take shells from beaches that allow it, and leave any with something living inside.
1Clean the shells
Soak them in warm soapy water. Scrub off sand with an old toothbrush.
2Sort by hole
Pick shells with natural holes. For others, grown-up step: drill a small hole slowly with the shell taped down.
3Cut 5 strands
Cut fishing line into 5 pieces of different lengths, 12 to 20 in.
4String the shells
Knot a bead at the bottom. Add a shell, then a bead, and repeat up the line.
5Tie them on
Knot each strand around the driftwood, spaced evenly.
6Add a hanger
Tie a line to both ends of the stick for hanging.
Put strands close enough that the shells touch when the wind moves them.
