Corals and shells in the interior of the house
A seaside holiday is the ideal vacation for many. Many seas have now become accessible to Russians: from the beloved and once only Black Sea to the tropical seas of Southeast Asia. Many people love a beach holiday, but in the heat, just lying in the shade under an umbrella or swimming is quite boring. Beach activities in the form of jet skis, parasailing, water skiing, banana boats, and surfing are not everyone’s cup of tea and are not suitable for children. But there is an activity at sea that both adults and children love - collecting shells and interesting stones on the beach. On the shores of tropical seas, in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and the Maldives, fragments of coral wash up on the beach, which are also eagerly collected by vacationers as souvenirs of the sea. Then they bring the seafood home and collect dust for a long time in a sink or basket until they are removed out of sight or thrown away.
Few people know that many interesting crafts can be made from shells and corals. These are toys made from shells, these are interior decorations for an apartment or house - it all depends on your imagination.
Toys can be made from double-leaf and twisted shells.The easiest way to make turtles is from them. In the East, the turtle is a symbol of wisdom and longevity. Therefore, bringing a homemade turtle from Southeast Asia is certainly pleasant. Any shells are suitable for making turtles and other animals. Besides the shells, all you need is glue.

You can make a tree from shell fragments. To do this, you need to select fragments of shells that resemble a leaf in shape or process them on a machine, if possible. Drill a hole in each sheet and insert a thin wire into it. Then twist the branches from separate sheets and make a tree from the branches. The photo clearly shows how this can be done. You can “settle” made animals under a tree. This composition will perfectly decorate the interior and can also become a wonderful toy for children.
A white and boring bathroom or kitchen wall can be decorated with shells and corals glued to the wall, as well as custom small shelves with fish.

Corals in tropical seas cannot be lifted from the bottom. But their fragments, sometimes quite large, can be found on the beach. In addition, they are often sold in souvenir shops. You can make an interesting composition out of them. For the base, you need to find a large stone on which to glue the corals with glue. In nature, they are multi-colored from blue and purple to white, beige and even green. But the color of corals quickly disappears when exposed to light, and they become white or beige. The star crassastra with its bright crimson color perfectly sets off the dim stone with corals. The star is quite rare, but it can be replaced by any other bright spot.

Sea shells are surprisingly varied in color, shape, and size. You can buy them quite inexpensively in souvenir shops at any resort. Even in the Black Sea resorts, dozens of types of beautiful tropical shells are sold. Most of the vacationers who buy them do not suspect that the shells are from tropical seas and believe that they are inhabitants of the Black Sea. The shells are glued or attached with a thin thread or wire to a lattice made of wood or metal - and the wall decoration is ready.

For an arrangement of flat corals and shells, you need to make a stand from thick wire with a mount for the shells and corals that you are going to place in it. Such a composition can become the dominant feature of the room and it is worth placing the most beautiful shells and flat corals here. On the dark surface of a table or piano, such a composition attracts the eye and reminds of wonderful days spent at sea.
