Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Clean the scallop shells thoroughly to remove any residue; let them dry completely.
2. Lightly sand the edges and inner surface of the shells to smooth any rough spots.
3. If desired, paint the shells with acrylic paint or apply a clear varnish to enhance shine and protect the surface; allow to dry.
4. Place a tea light or small votive candle inside each shell.
5. To secure the candle, apply a small amount of strong glue to the base of the candle and press it gently inside the shell.
6. Let the glue dry completely before lighting the candle.
7. Arrange your new candle holders on a table or shelf to enjoy the cozy ambiance they create.
