Beachy DIY Seashell Vase

Floral· Home Decor· Mantle & Tabletop· Summer

Looking for a fun way to update your home decor for summer? I love incorporating seashells into my home for those warm summer months and this shell DIY vase couldn’t be easier to put together. Today I’ll walk you through how to recreate it on your own.

Supplies needed to make your own shell DIY vase:

  • Unfinished Wood Craft Box
  • Assorted Seashells
  • Hot Glue & Sticks
  • Floral Foam
  • Scissors or Knife
  • Grass or Greenery (optional)
  • Moss (optional)

Step 1. To create this summery seashell vase, you’ll start applying seashells along the bottom of the wood box with hot glue to secure seashells in place.

I find it easiest to start with some of the larger shells, while using the smaller shells to fill in the spaces. Move around the box starting at the base and moving up as you go until you cover the entire box with shells.

Step 2. Now you’ll use smaller shells to fill in the gaps where the wood is showing through. This adds a lot of fun texture and layering to the vase.

Step 3. When you have the seashells covering the wood box entirely, it’s time to add your floral foam inside the box. Measure out and trim foam as necessary.

Step 4. Insert the greenery in the foam and depending on the style of florals/greenery you use. You may want to add some moss to cover the foam inside the vase. I love this faux mountain grass and think it looks perfect for summer!

Isn’t this beachy shell DIY vase lovely?
