Every summer I am fortunate to spend time at the beach with
my family where one of my favorite activities is looking for shells. I love to stroll on the sand searching for
treasures and inevitably end up coming home with bags of shells – mostly white
of course.
The shells find their way into various jars and bowls around
my house and have provided great inspiration for a few craft projects as
well. Remember last year when I used a
group of oyster shells to make a decorative ball? (Complete instructions can be
found HERE.)
This year my bags of shells inspired me to create a line of
nautical inspired Christmas stockings!
Each design is made from burlap and features a different
shell.
They look great as a grouping of all the same design as well
as a mix of all three styles. To learn more about these new designs and to see
additional stockings please visit my Etsy Shop.
Beautiful! I have notice lately there are a lot of oyster shell mirrors floating around the web. They are pretty, and I keep thinking of the piles and piles of shells we threw away after our family oyster roasts. :)
