Details
Photos in a seashell bring you right into the picture to commemorate a moment in time. Whether it’s a gift for a friend, family, or teacher, or a special keepsake for Mother’s Day, a housewarming, or a bridal shower, this unique gift is perfect for any occasion. Preserve a memory in the stillness of time by transferring it onto a photo-encased shell. Capture your favorite pet pose, a celebration like a wedding or baby’s first birthday, or any treasured moment, and display it proudly for all to see.
Each shell is sterilized, painted, and sorted by size. Your photo is enhanced and edited for the best presentation. A laser printer is used to print your photo, and a special photo-transfer medium is carefully applied to the shell and your image. After the photo is delicately placed onto the shell, it dries for 1 to 2 days before the paper is removed. The photo is now embedded into the shell, creating a long-lasting, personalized keepsake. This is NOT decoupage. Your photo is then decorated and enhanced to your liking, with optional sparkling Cape May sand for an added touch of coastal charm.
Perfect for Christmas, birthdays, or as a thoughtful gift for any occasion, your carefully packaged shell will arrive in 1 to 2 weeks, ready to be displayed and admired.

What are Shell Tales used for?
Transform a cherished photo into a lasting keepsake by transferring it onto a shell. Create a collection of family portraits to adorn your living space or honor a beloved pet. Consider gifting one to a friend; they'll be deeply touched by your heartfelt gesture.
How is photo transfer different from decoupage?
Photo transferring is a technique using a laser printer and special transfer gel to your photo. After the shell is prepared (sanitized, sanded and painted) your photo is edited to fit in the shell. The photo is gently placed into the shell and after 24 hours the paper is removed. The shell now holds your photo (not decoupage which is gluing a photo on the shell)
