I did, I wrapped them in a napkin and put them in my purse!
When I got home I boiled them again and washed them with soap and water.
I had this black frame with 4 sections so I painted and sanded it.
I used sand scrapbook paper and then glued the shells on the front of the frame. I had the little white shells that I used for the center of the flower.
I've used lobster tails to make flowers before, but always when we ate them at home. I've never wrapped them up from a restaurant and brought them home! I'm sure the people near us thought I was crazy! No, I'm not nuts, just a crafter!
I'll be linking Here this week.

The way I look at it, you saved some space in the landfill and got your craft supplies all at one time. You recycled or upcycled or repurposed or something like that. Way to go, girl!
This is super cute!
I'm so proud of you! As long as there are no teenagers present to claim you will positively ruin their lives if you do it, it's great.
Love that saying, too.
That is so funny that you snuck them out in your purse! I love this craft! You should link it up on my shell crafts post!

What a neat idea!
Visiting from comment love Sunday. That's totally adorable! And if I saw someone bring shells home I don't even know that'd I'd think anything of it.
Ha ha aha! This is something that I would totally do too! We take home shells all the time from the seafood restuarant.. so now not only do you have an amazing little picture.. but also a great story too!
