I've always loved seashells ~ I guess because I've always loved the beach.
This is what I did with some of my collection......a project.
First, lightly spray paint a grapevine wreath with white paint. Next, heat up the glue gun and start glueing the shells to the wreath ~ any which way you choose. Add some spanish moss, maybe a few twigs, and......voila!
You have a beautiful seashell wreath.
I hung mine on our screened-in back porch. It reminds me of the beach and I love it!

I love this idea Donna!! I collect sea shells too & have jars of them all over the house ~ I think your grapevine wreath idea will go on my "summer vacation to-do list" :-)
What a gorgeous wreath, Donna! I, too, am a collector of seashells. For our wedding, I ordered a TON of seashells over the internet and created a theme ... seaside cottage wedding. Yes. We live in PA - but I didn't care! Now, I have an ample supply of beautiful shells, seaglass and silk hydrangeas to decorate for parties and such - you have no idea how much I've used them! I even made a piece of jewelry that I wear often ... hmmmm. Think I'll post on that today!
Beautiful work full of inspiration as usual, Donna!!
Blessings,

What a pretty wreath! I love to beach comb and every now and then I find a special treasure beyond a clam or mussel shell.
I love it too. We love shells so much that when we moved we had six large boxes full of them!
Loved this! Years ago I saw a beautiful shell wreath in a house on Captiva Island. I went home and THOUGHT I was duplicating it, gluing a bazillion shells onto a styrofoam wreath frame. It LOOKED great, but when it cracked and fell off the wall in the middle of the night and stunted our kids' growth for two years, I realized I'd missed something. Grapevine is a very good idea!!!
