The thing that makes this tricky is that it can be hard to drill the holes in the shells. And be very careful! IT takes 2 hours because you can't rush through the drilling or the sawing, it is mostly easy, just the drilling is tricky.

Find shells. I used Oyster shells for this. There is a beach near by which has LOADS. Then I cleaned them.
-
Drill a hole close to the edge of each shell. Oyster shells can be very tuff!
-
For the support I used a nice, very even piece of drift wood from a beach. I saw it half.
-
I then drilled a whole through the middle of one, which was to be the top one and out throught the bottom of the lower one and I popped a quite long screw in it so they held together.
You need a screw like the one I drew!
The left hand end of it show be at the bottom. -
In the lower piece of wood, either side of the centre, I put in small little hookes to hang the shells from.
-
So, hard bits are done!
Okay, Now get your shells, and link them together with thin wire. -
With the screw poking out at the bottom, wrap a bit of wire around it to hang the middle chain of shells from.
-
Attach the chains to their places.
-
At the top of the mobile, the top part of the screw, attach a piece of wire to it. Depending on the length of your screw, it may not be poking out the top, just feed it through.
-
Hopefully my directions are OKAY to follow. It isn't that complicated. :D
