Things You'll Need:

- Candle
- 20-30 seashells of varying texture and size
- Square mirror
- Square pearl-colored plate or dish
- Starfish

-
Step 1
Choose the focal point of your centerpiece. A wide-mouthed vase or hurricane globe that is clear or lightly tinted would work best. Wash and dry the vase or hurricane globe to remove any dust or water spots.
-
Step 2
Fill one-third of the vase with sand.
-
Step 3
Place a candle in the center of the vase, and bury it slightly in the sand to provide support.
-
Step 4
Surround the candle with smaller seashells, placing them randomly in the sand.
-
Step 1
Clean a square mirror that will be placed beneath the vase to ensure a bright reflection. Make sure the mirror is larger than the vase.
-
Step 2
Place the mirror in the center of the table.
-
Step 3
Place a pearl-colored plate or dish on top of the mirror, slightly out of alignment with the mirror.
-
Step 4
Set the vase or hurricane globe on top of the pearl-colored dish.
-
Step 5
Place a starfish, a few large shells and your choice of silk or real flowers on the square mirror.
-
Step 6
Scatter a few small shells around the mirror if you'd like, to add to the look of a seashell-strewn beach.
