Craft Shells for sale in the UK
If you are thinking to yourself, where can I buy shells for crafts? You’ve come to the right place. We buy our craft shells from the two most reputable craft shell suppliers in the UK and are probably now their biggest clients. All our shells for craftwork come with ecological certification and are sustainable. Scroll through our listings and it won’t take you long to realise that most of these craft shells have been partially eaten first. And that’s the way we want to keep it. Our best selling starfish for craft supplies are washed ashore and our children understand the importance of preservation as well as we do. Charitable donations through our shops are weighted towards the RNLI and marine conservation. We only sell online a small proportion of the seashells we sell in our shops, so if we’re too far to pop down and visit, please call Jamie on 01202 285163 or email at info@dorsetgifts.com if you can’t find what you’re after but you know it’s out there and want to purchase from a reputable shell supplier. We have large corporate accounts and frequently sell our craft shells to wedding parties and interior designers as well as selling sea shells in bulk or wholesale. Also, we sell lots of shells for school craft projects. We can supply hobby craft shells, small seashells for sale and seashells for craft work for any of your DIY seahsell projects. As market leaders in supplying shells for crafts in the UK, we promise to see you right!
