There was a sale on pistachio at the supermarket last week, so I regularly had pistachio shells on my desk. They’re pretty shells, very smooth, and they have potential. But what to do with them? I tell you what: turn them into jewelry.

Description

There was a sale on pistachio at the supermarket last week, so I regularly had pistachio shells on my desk. They’re pretty shells, very smooth, and they have potential. But what to do with them? I tell you what: turn them into jewelry.

Instructions

  1. Small dsc 0878

    This is what you need

  2. Small dsc 0879

    Paint the inside of a pistachio in a hot nail polish color.

  3. Small dsc 0898

    When it’s dry, put in a few drops of strong glue and fix the beads inside. They look like pearls in a shell or peas in a pod, and that is cute.

  4. Small dsc 0901

    Turn them over and glue the pin to both shells, and you’ve got yourself a new accessory.
