Seashell ornaments and decor

The holiday season has always been my favorite time of the year… Christmas was always my favorite holiday as it is to most.  When I was young, decorating for Christmas was part of the magic and making decorations was so gratifying for me and it still is.  I could spend hours and hours caught up in a creative zone making ornaments and Christmas decorations, that is one of the reasons why I love having a shop on Etsy.  It provides a place for me to sell my items that I create for me and extra to sell.  
If anyone of you has a hobby and like to create, you should try your hand at starting a business on etsy, if you haven't yet.  It helps you to continue to be creative after you have created for you and your home and gives another purpose to create.  
I have been drawn to using seashell for my holiday decorations since we moved to coastal area.  It's funny, before I moved to a beach community, I never thought of using shells for my projects… Now, I can't stop using them… I love working with shells, their beautiful natural shapes and size can be worked into some many things.  Here are a few decorations I've been making for my etsy shop along with for my home.

I made this seashell Christmas tree by gluing small white shells and rhinestones to a styrofoam cone.  The star on top is a real starfish wrapped with tiny rhinestones.

These sand dollars were painted and glittered.  Added a little rhinestones for a little more sparkle. 

These flat scallop shells are perfect in its natural state, added a metal angel to hang from.

More bling, you gotta have the bling!  I love using abalone shells, I love their iridescent quality they take on a different color at every angle.

I hope you can stop by my etsy shop and also check out some of their great shops.  If you haven't already started a shop on etsy, maybe it will be a new venture for the upcoming year.

Thank you for stopping by!
