DIY Centerpiece Idea w/ Shells

That sounds very pretty! You don't have a pic of that, do you? I will definitely put sand in the bottom ... and just need to decide how to add the candle. Did they leave a hole and put it down in the shells a bit?

I want to definitely find plastic jars/vases though (and I like that square look) so that nothing breaks in the transition from US to DR.

I don't have pictures of it (unfortunately) but I can ask my friend to send me some. From what I remember, she used a big round candle and just placed it on top of all the shells.
