Pāua Shells
Pāua shells are as iconic as the meat itself, with their stunning iridescent colours. Here are some ideas for putting the shells to good use:
Decorative Uses:
Clean the shell with warm water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the natural shine.
Use as a jewellery or trinket dish, soap holder, or a centerpiece on your table.
Garden Uses:
Crushed pāua shells make a stunning addition to your garden or path providing calcium for the soil and acting as a natural mulch.
Use whole shells to edge garden beds, grow succulents or create a unique outdoor feature!
Crafts:
Incorporate shells into DIY projects like wind chimes, photo frames, or mosaics.
Polished shells make beautiful gifts or keepsakes.
