It doesn’t matter if we currently live on the beach, miss living on the beach, or if we are dreaming of getting away from the rat race to relax on the beach, seashell ornaments and themed Christmas trees are a way of taking us back there without actually leaving our homes.
Creating Christmas ornaments and decorations from seashells is a beautiful, shabby chic yet natural way to decorate our homes at Christmas and something that is dear to my heart. If you are a crafty DIY type of person like I am, who has a collection of seashells from travels to the islands, get them out of their storage box, grab the glue gun and get started creating your own seashell ornaments.
3. Sand Dollar Ornament
Instructions:
Thread the ribbon of choice through the natural hole of the sand dollar.
Glue on tiny abalone, limpet and turban seashells. Thread beads on fishing line and glue.
4. Silver Drop Starfish Ornaments
Instructions:
Using a product called DIAMOND GLAZE, mix in enough silver acrylic paint or ink to get the color you want. Once mixed, place drops on the arms of the starfish. Diamond glaze will dry to a glass-like finish. A word of caution don’t use a cheaper product claiming to be the same. It’s not and a waste of money.
You can also buy little silver balls at the craft store that can be glued on.
5. Beach Glitter Ornaments
Instructions:
Start with a basic blue ornament.
Paint on bands of glue and pour beach sand onto the glue.
Dab a bit of glue onto the small shells, press into sand around the middle band, and let dry.
