500 Sea Shells!

[Phoenix Mermaid]

Hey all, hopefully this is posted in the right spot, if not feel free to move

I have a big event coming up and we are expecting about 500 kids! Wow
I'll be handing out sea shells so I need about 500 of those suckers!

Any ideas on where to get that bulk amount for a good price?
Also with careful shipping and handling so most of them don't arrive broken.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

They are pretty the cost so much

Joann's has a bag (not sure how many) about the size of a soccer ball for like 13$ and they usually have coupons for up to half off on their website.

The small shells on the pages I linked are only a few cents each... The folks know what they're doing and package everything really well too, so you don't have to worry about any arriving broken.

Just a warning about the big bags o' shells at chain stores - they've not been packed or handled very well in a lot of cases; you may want to pick up some extra to make up for the broken shells :P
