Warm welcome
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! As always, we are so very busy on the weekends with baseball, birthday parties, visiting friends and just connecting with the family. It is all good! However, I very rarely get to do any projects during the weekend. So I am going to show you this seashell wreath I did a little while ago and had added to my Etsy Shop. I love wreaths and I think a wreath on the front door gives a nice warm welcome into your home.
This is what you will need to make this project
Large grapevine wreath
Wide ribbon for bow
Glue gun
Variety of shells
A few hours
Ice cubes for when you burn your finger countless times!
1. Gather all your project needs
2. This is the back of the grapevine wreath, I forgot to take step-by-step pictures
3. I purchase these shells in craft stores, online and also pick them on our beach.
4. Tie the ribbon on the wreath first and later you can make the bow. I glued the shells right over the ribbon.
5. Glue layers of shells to give it a clustered effect. I glued flatter shells like scallops first to give more even base for the more shapely shell.
I hope you like this project, this is a great wreath to put on a front door, over a mantle, in a bathroom, etc…

I LOVE the bright starfish detail on this. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! So fresh and beachy. Love the little touch of color.
ReplyDeleteI love it! We live very close to the ocean so that would work so well in the summer for our house. Thanks for the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea: the next time we go to the beach, we'll be collecting shells! Thanks!
