The project requires a large round clear plastic ornament. Then sand, shells, and driftwood are added. (If you visit a beach this month, scoop up a few little found objects to bring home and plan to make one or more of these ornaments.)
To make the ornament even more fun, Wendi constructed a little sign out of paper, paint, and a wooden skewer. She gives tips for making sure the sign will stand upright in the ornament.
The finishing touch was to paint the ornament cap in a beachy color and then add a raffia bow.
I fell in love with this ornament and will probably try to make at least one, at some point. Using summer souvenirs to make a keepsake ornament is such a fabulous idea, don't you think?
That is cute. My daughter and granddaughter went to Alabama last year and they have some shells and such. Will show her.
ReplyDeleteA great idea indeed, I need to make some about my summer! My daughter has a place at the beach and she is so crafty, I will share this with her. Thanks for sharing.

Great memento when you visit the beach and bring a little sand and a few shells home with you.
