Making your Own Seashell Ornaments can be Fun!

We have some beautiful seashell ornaments here at Quality Shells, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t make some of your own, too. In fact, with our great selection of shells, making your own seashell ornaments can be fun. You’re only limited by your imagination. After all, Christmas ornaments are getting more and more creative—there’s no better time to get started. You can even make some extra seashell ornaments to give to friends and co-workers as Christmas presents.

Making seashell ornaments
Gather seashells of all different sizes to make your seashell ornaments. Once you’ve decided on the shells that you’re going to use, carefully drill a hole in the top of each shell with a craft drill. Try not to press too hard—seashells can be fragile. But it will all be worth it when you see your lovely seashell ornaments! While you’re drilling, turn on a hot glue gun and let it warm up.

If you have ribbon or other decorations, to use on your seashell ornaments, now is the time to gather them together. Place a dot of hot glue on the front of the seashell, and glue one of your decorations on the front of your seashell ornaments. Press gently until the glue sets—this can take about a minute. Do this for all of the shells you’d like to turn into seashell ornaments.

Once you have the decorations glued onto your shells, you’re ready to add the ribbon. Take a five inch piece of ribbon and thread it through the hole in the top of the shell. Tie the ends of the ribbon together. You’ll be surprised at how beautiful seashell ornaments can enhance your holiday season! There’s no reason to have a boring holiday season!

With the great shells, starfish, and other ocean and nautical goodies you can get at Quality Shells, you’ll be able to create seashell ornaments for everyone in your family. People love getting hand made Christmas gifts, and there’s nothing better than a gift from the heart. Share the heart of the ocean with your friends and family this holiday season—make some beautiful seashell ornaments with the supplies you can get at Quality Shells!
