prepping oyster shells
Eat some oysters... yum!
Take your gross oyster shells and put them in a bucket
Fill bucket with water and bleach
Wait half a day, inspecting shells occasionally to ensure shell integrity
Remove shells from bucket and rinse off, scrubbing with a toothbrush to remove additional scum
Let shells dry
Once shells are dry, use a dremmel tool to drill holes in areas of the shell you wish to attach to clothing or insert faux pearls
