This is not a difficult project at all, just a little time consuming. Grab a wreath form, seashells, some ribbon and fire up your glue gun.
Start by wrapping the wreath in ribbon. I made a wire hanger to hang it. I didn't take a picture, but I did it the same way I showed here. Don't scrimp...shells are even heavier than gumdrops!
Then glue, glue, glue, making sure to alternate the direction of the shells.
And there you go...a perfect wreath to celebrate summer!

LOVE this!!! I am just starting to plan a beach wedding for next year and I am thinking I need this for my door!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!!! How many pounds of shells did you need to use?
ReplyDeleteI lie the seashell wreath the best. It is so pretty. I wish I had one, but here in the middle of Texas it would cost a fortune to get all the petty shells
