How To Make Sea Shell Ornaments
If you live at or have visited the beach, chances are you have seen your fair share of beach themed decorations. One of the prettiest may be a sea shell decorated Christmas Tree. With ornaments that can be super simple to make, turn your Christmas Tree into a great reminder of vacations past. Below you will find easy instructions on how to turn your favorite shells (found or store bought) into beautiful trimmings for your tree. For those of us with that creative flair, decorate your shells with glitter and paint beforehand, be sure to let them dry completely before continuing with this process.
Supplies you will need:
Wash and dry all shells before getting started. Cut pieces of ribbon to desired length to be used as hanger for tree. Take ends of ribbon and glue to the backside of chosen shell. This should create a loop that you will hang the ornament by. Lay shell flat and allow glue to dry completely before hanging ornament.
