25 Gifts & Ornaments #23 - Sea Shell Winter Scene Ornament

Yes, I have a few shells left over from making my Sea Shell Wreath so I thought it would be fun to try and come up with an ornament using them.

#23 - Sea Shell Winter Scene Ornament

Supplies:

Shell
Drill & Bit
Glass Glitter
Glue
Mini Embellishments of your choice
Wire Hanger

Instructions:

1. Drill a hole in the top of your shell.  Be sure to wear safety glasses when doing so, the drill can chuck little shell shards all over if you're not careful.

2. Fill the center of the shell with glue and spread it around so the entire inside of the shell is covered with glue.

3. Sprinkle the "sky" colored glitter in the upper portion of the shell.  Spread it around and shake out the excess.

4. Now sprinkle in the "snow" glitter, spread it around and shake off the excess.  Set aside to dry.

5. Now you can decorate the scene as desired.  I started off by taking the base off of a mini bottle brush tree and gluing it into the curve of the shell.

6. Next I glued in a couple mini deer (from Red Led Paperworks).

7.  I added a bit of holly & beads to finish it off.



And there you have another nifty little ornament for a sea shell!
