The first time my boyfriend and I went to Jekyll Island, there was an amazing thunder storm the night we arrived. We sat on the balcony and watched lightening over the ocean for hours... The next morning we went for a walk on the beach and found so many sand dollars! We made sure to throw all of the live dollars back in hopes that they might make it. We still ended up with about 25 sand dollars! I thought it would be so cool to make necklaces out of them. So I cleaned them up (I didn't bleach them because their natural color is so beautiful) and put a few coats of Varnish on them to preserve them. The sand dollar has a natural hole that hemp twine fits perfectly through. Then I added the clasps and beads. I will be starting my Etsy shop as soon as they are all completed!
