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)
