Saint Patrick's Day Exotic Shells Hawaii

You can choose your favorite green turbo shells, carved, banded or natural, to make a four leaf clover for your table.

With 3 or 4 green turbo shells and a piece of green felt, make a shamrock.

You don’t need the luck of the Irish to paint your favorite seashells green.  If you want the green color to be translucent, choose watercolor paints for the shell.  If you want the paint to be opaque or paint with detail, choose acrylic paint.  We mixed Cadmium yellow acrylic paint and ultramarine blue acrylic paint to make this green color.
