< Item #10042 on this website of decorated shells: Florida Marine Research shop.

Some of the other decorated shells available to buy include Superman, Batman, Spiderman, RugRats, fish, fruit, clowns, butterflies, sports balls and SpongeBob SquarePants with Patrick the starfish.

There are also plain shells for sale or you can take inspiration and paint or varnish your own collection.

An example of decorated pebbles.

These Decorated Pebbles are lovely!

To paint your own pebbles, thoroughly wash and dry them first then try water-based acrylic paints for bold designs. You can always seal the finished artwork with varnish for extra protection.

We are happy to add your pictures or links.
