Collect your shells off the shores of Cape Town – 6 shells per 2 daisies, so collect as many as you will need. Carefully separate the shells and sort into left and right halves. Wash, clean and allow shells to dry, while being careful to not damage each one. Select either 6 left or 6 right shells of roughly the same size for your first daisy. You must use only left or only right for each daisy – a right half shell will not fit in correctly with left half shell. 

Use 6 jar lids as a base onto which you can secure the half shells with a small piece of tic-tac (one lid for each shell). This makes it easier to rotate and paint the shells.

Give each shell a white coat of Dala Craft Paint which allows the final colour to be bright. Once the coat is dry, select a colour from Dala's wide range of Craft Paints for your daisy and paint each half shell (it may require 3 coats). The colour chosen here was Dala Craft Paint CP10 – violet (photo 3). When the final coat of paint is dry, brighten your shell further with a coat of Dala Podge or Dala deco varnish.

Now arrange the painted petals in a circle and glue together with a glue gun. You can also glue a washer onto the back of the petals in order to allow you to hang it or glue it to a surface.

For the flower centre, use a small round rock or cut a champagne cork to the correct size. Stick this also on a jar lid to paint and glue to the front of the daisy once dry.

You can now give your Dala Daisy another coat of Dala Podge or Dala Deco varnish to give it a clear finishing shine.
