Project report: Learning to make shells handicrafts
Result:
We learned to make crafts from shells because the shells were much scattered on the beach where we were staying. Currently shells that have no contents were only collected on the waterfront and is not used by the residents of our village. Most of the residents in the village of New Town was fishing for fish in the sea.
Here we learn to make necklaces, bracelets and a pair of curtains that are all made of shells. Large shells are also we use as a decorative plant containers. We learned this craft from the craft designs on the internet. With the guidance from a local trainer, we also learned how to clean the shells, stringing shells into a necklace, bracelet and curtains and pack it into a craft that looks interesting, so it can be sold in the market.
