Just almost boil them in Rit dye.  The longer you leave them in the hot
water the darker they get.  Shells can't be dyed this way.

I don't use dyed shells in my shellcraft, but I am aware that dyed shells are available.   So maybe someone can tell me how to do it.   Otherwise, I will have to paint them with acryllics for her.
