The best way to use the seashells is painting. You will have fun to paint seashell with your boys or your little girls. But before to start painting of seashells, first thing you should do is cleaning the seashells.
First method: Burying
Burying seashell to clean it is easiest way, but will take about two months. You can dig a hole somewhere in around your house and bury the seashells with deep enough that animals will not dig them up.
Second method: Freezing
Put these shells into a bag with full of water, zip the bag and then place in the freezer. When you are ready to clean them, let the bag thaw at room temperature until completely defrosted.
Third method: Boiling:
Comparing with the two methods above, boiling the seashells in the pot with some of water for a few minutes is fast. Use tongs to remove one shell at a time to avoid burning yourself.
After simply clean the seashells, the last step that we should do is bleaching. When no tissue remains, soak the seashells in a 50-50 solution of bleach and water. If you want your seashells a nice finish and more shining, you can wipe them with baby oil.
