Shell flowers

Someone on here posted this pic and the more I look at it the cooler I think it is...

How do you think I could make this??

What is the name of that shell? Where do you think I could buy a few of them????

Would it look silly?

Hard to see the shell clearly but could it be a sea snail shell?

I would try emailing a few places to find out if they carry shells of at least 6" or more - http://seashellcitymi.com/public/storefront/index.php?categoryID=91&show_all=yes&sort=Price&direction=DESC

I would think that you could stuff the opening with floral foam and then add flowers + greenery of your choice.

It does look like a snail shell...It definitely isn't a conch shell that more elongated and rectangular...

Thanks girls....what do you think about them??? Will the girls look weird holding them like that???

It's hard to tell...Maybe if they're too big, But if you find the right sized ones, I don't think it would look too bad...The hard part will be find similiar colored ones since no shells are the same :)

But I think it's a really neat idea!
