She Sells Sea Shells
Being summer and all I've been in sort of a beachy mood so when I came across this seashell wreath in my mom's Woman's Day magazine, I knew I had to make it. I think it turned out great and I love the eclectic feel it has mixed with my other decor. The only thing I wish now is that my wall were painted a different color so the shells would really pop. A project for another day perhaps... :)
Here's the instructions if you'd like to make your own wreath.
To make the one I made you have to modify Woman's Day's version a little.
-Instead of a 16 inch foam wreath I used a 14 inch one. The 16 inch one was just too big
-They call for 5 bags of shells which is way too much in my opinion and way too expensive. If you make the 14 inch wreath you can get away with two bags easily.
-I also added glass jewels in colors that match my decor. I think it makes the wreath a little more funky and a little more colorful.
Making things for my home makes me happy!
