My friend had given me a wooden thimble holder that she found in a charity shop last year, I think she said it cost £1 she said she thought of me and bought it.
( measures 23cms x 11cms)
While it was drying I sorted through all my shells and drift wood and shingle to put in to the compartments.

Once all the compartments were filled, I then cut some acetate to fit and adhered it in place using hot glue. Finally I added some scrim, shells, string, some orange mesh (the mesh bag from my oranges) and some small pieces of driftwood as decoration...
I am entering this in to these challenges.....

What a beautiful make-over! Lovely display for your shells. Thank you for playing along with us at Altered Eclectics.
You are so brave. I'm always struggeling with vintage objects, to give them a colour treatment or using them as they are. Love how you filled all the compartments. Very unique (:o)
This is just brilliant! I love shells, which is what attracted me to take a peek when I saw it on the Altered Eclectics Challenge page. I was not disappointed. What a wonderful use of a thimble case! Fabulous work. Julie Ann xxx
