About two years ago, a friend of mine in Germany went to the coast of Ireland and sent me a bunch of seashells and a incredibly tiny sanddollar for my birthday. She sent them in cute little wooden boxes, but I'd rather them be out somewhere where I could use them or see them a lot. I'd love to make jewelry out of them, but I'm afraid of cracking the shells by putting holes in them for the string and stuff. Any ideas?
