Clam Shell Costume?

I used to make "Costumes" well more to order costumes for erm... dancers  Laughing
I've been out of touch along time with crafty things but day before yesterday i aquired 40 "Queenies" (Clams) so been left with 80 smallish clam shells.

Being bored today as Richies got "man flu" my mind has been wandering and I've been thinking what to do with the shells my idea is to dremmel small holes in them and link them with jewellry bolt rings to make a "diffrent" over skirt to go over a black mini skirt. I know it's going to be a pain in the butt (literlly) sitting down Laughing but just an off the wall idea!

Anyone got any other ideas I could use 80 smallish clam shell's for?

I'm getting confused now between 'queenies' and clams    I always thought queenies were scallops!  Wink

Yeah there Scollops but quite abit smaller with coral and a good bit of meat in I'd say about 2 inch diameter max for "queenies"  Very Happy
