I made another seashell wreath! You may remember I made one of these last year and I donated it to the Nie Recovery Auction. I was very pleased that it raised $100! It felt so great to donate it but I also missed having one of my own. Last week I finally got around to making another one!
The foam wreath came from the Dollar Tree store as did most of the shells so this is a really inexpensive project. You could even buy the ribbon at the dollar store, but I used ribbon I already had.
If you want to make one for yourself you can check out my post titled How to make Seashell Wreath I did last year. They are really fast and easy to make!
Reminder: Monday I will be hosting my monthly giveaway party!
Cute! Cute!!! I love this... Have a great day...

Cindy, that is so beautiful! Now I'm going to see if there is a Dollar Tree near me. lol
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to make one of these for my neice, she has an apt with an ocean view and this would be perfect for her. I just love it and I'm glad you made yourself one to enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI'm attempting to make your seashell cupcake today. I'll let you know how I made out..if it comes out 1/2 as nice as yours I'll be pleased! Mary
I remember when you made the other one last year. Glad you made one for yourself and it is very pretty too! Looks good on your armoire door.

Adorable! Now that's a craft that's so uncomplicated that even I can do it! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved the shell wreaths and mirrors. Yours is really pretty! I love the idea of a bow. Never seen that before and it is a lovely touch!

What an adorable beachy wreath!! I want one! Unfortunately we do not have a dollar tree store, so perhaps I will find the makings at a Michaels? Do ya think? I hope so! I love your blog, you are always up to something amazing! Btw, does your middle name start with a J by any chance? Mine is June. Hugs, ~cindy s~
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous-perfect for Summer!

Very sweet looking. Now I'm off to re-read your directions. ☺ Diane
ReplyDeleteI love your creative use of shells. I remember many years ago my dad used to tell my mom, "give a woman a sea shell, and she'll decorate a bathroom!" You give that a whole new meaning! Come over and visit my blog sometime, your's is one of my favorite that I've joined!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration! It's beautiful and I think I'll give it a try! Cindy
It is so pretty and beachy!

I saw your wreath and immediately ran out to the Dollar Tree to get the supplies. My 19 year old Daughter and I each made a wreath in order to distract ourselves from the disappointment that came our way today. Thanks for the instructions from last year. So helpful. I probably will post pics on my blog on Friday, when I'm off for the weekend.Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteToo funny! I was going to make one last weekend, but then I glittered & painted so many shells I didn't have enough for a wreath! I have to get myself over to the Dollar Tree and stock up!

Beautiful wreath!

ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet wreath. I look forward to reading about and learning how you made this. When God was giving out creative spirits, you were first in line, weren't you? Hugs, Penny Sue

I have always wanted to make a shell wreath, but have never gotten around to doing it. I think that will be my next project. Now I can tell hubby what I'll be doing with all the seashells I've been collecting!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful shell wreath, and I love how you staged it so perfectly. Thank you for the link to the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteKaren

ReplyDeleteI love the Shell Wreath! And since I just got back from California & that is one of the things I brought back it would be perfect! Thank you so much for sharing. I think I will try one. And if I do I will post it & link back to you for sharing the idea!

What a great summer or anytime wreath. Such an elegant way to bring sea shells into a home's decor. I can see why you were missing the one you donated. ~J~

Hi
ReplyDeleteI have made several wreaths but me shells seem to fall off....
Not so sure why.I am using a glue gun. Any ideas??
You might want to try a different brand of hot glue sticks...it may be that. I haven't had that problem at all!
