It's been a long time since your last holiday and you're beginning to have wanderlust? With this maritime side table with cast-in shells you can easily bring a little sea and holiday feeling into your own four walls. With the cold glaze you can of course also cast in other things such as stones, leaves or even flowers.

Step by step to an individual piece of furniture


In the first step the table is covered withHandicraft paintpainted. For the inside surface you can use turquoise-blue, which reminds of the sea. We have painted the edges and table legs with a strong one. Let the paint dry well. If necessary, you can apply a second coat of paint if some wood still shimmers through.

Now place the shells on the table. Once you are satisfied with the arrangement, mix 300 ml of cold glaze according to the package insert and let the mixture slowly run over the mussels. Let the first layer dry for at least 24 hours. Repeat this process two more times so that the shells are completely covered with the glaze. Of course you can also pour less layers of cold glaze on the table, so that some parts of the shells still stick out.

Finally, drape a candle on the table or fill a glass with some Sand from beach and place it in the middle of the table as decoration and your nautical jewelry is ready.
