12 PCS Starfish | 2.5-6 Inch Starfish Decor | Natural Bulk Starfish Shells Perfect for Crafts Making Beach Theme Party Wedding Decoration, Home Wall Decor, Christmas Ornaments, Fish Tank

perfect for my Christmas project, beautiful and arrived with only a few points broken (able to fix with glue) - slight "sea" smell, left outside in sun for a few days to lighten the smell - should be gone by Christmas

Arrived quickly. Exactly what we wanted to make ornaments with. Sizes were great and just like described.

I love these. They are so easy to work with. Nothing was broken and I used them on a floral arrangement to make a seascape.

these worked great for what I needed but the smell was absolutely stomach churning upon opening the bag. My cat next to me inspected and almost immediately started gagging. Other people nearby my crafting table were complaining about the smell and a pregnant woman got physically sick. The smell is just awful.

These were really pretty but they smelled so bad I had to return them. They made my hands smell too and I couldn't stand it. You get a good amount for what you pay for but it wasn't worth the smell. I tried airing them out a little outside but as soon as I brought them back indoors they began to smell again.

So many compliments as center pieces! Looks so realistic- are they?? Haha

Soak the shells in a bowl of white vinegar (regular or cleaning) and water overnight! I put 1/3 cup of vinegar and 2 cups of water in a large mixing bowl - threw Half a bag of shells in there and let them soak. Obviously increase your measurements if you are using the whole bag. I soaked them overnight and let them air dry outside in the sunlight on back porch in the morning. By the time I got home from work - zero scent and I decorated my bathroom with them! Voila! YES they smell like fish! But if you're not using them outside and using indoors, here's the safest way (chemical free) to remove the scent :-) I love these starfish! Thank you!
