How to make a oyster shell candle holder in brief:
Work the oyster shell candle holder from top down, holding five shells with interior surface upwards. Arrange oysters shells into a cup, making sure a tea light will fit inside, then glue the shells in place, using a hot glue gun. To attach more layers, turn cup upside down. Add shells as feet, if necessary, so the candle holder lays flat. To make the process easier, see a round base -wood or cork for example.
If you can't find oyster shells on the beach, you can either go and slurp a few dozen oysters at a restaurant and take them home, or pick up a bag from a local oyster factory or Shop Oysters in Bulk on Etsy US.
A beautiful oyster shell candle holder will put you in a very relaxing mood! The Hammock, of course, helps too. Picture source unknown.

Great step by step tutorial for an oyster shell votive candle holder, using gorilla glue and two bases. It's very well constructed, and the oyster shells were gathered along the beaches of North Carolina.
