Here on the Texas Coast I am constantly picking up shells and crafting with them. I wanted to do a quick tutorial on how I made these cute Seashell Snowman Ornaments. They are so cute and very easy to make.
SUPPLIES
- NATURAL SHELLS
- SHARPIES, I USED RED, BLUE, ORANGE, BLACK
- GEL SUPERGLUE
- WHITE SPRAY PAINT
- GOLD ACRYLIC PAINT
- CORDING, THREAD OR RIBBON

INSTRUCTIONS
- I spread the newspaper out and spray-painted the shells white. After they dry, I turned to over and spray-painted the other side gold.
- I layered the shells like I wanted them and used the Gel Superglue to glue them into a snowman shape.
- I used Sharpies to draw faces and buttons onto the shell snowmen. You can also paint the faces on them.
- Glue ribbon or thread to the back side of the snowman ornament for hanging.
EASY PEASY!
These ornaments are so easy and you can make so many in just a short amount of time. As a side note, my shells are collected on Texas Gulf Coast beaches. These shells wash up on the beaches naturally and are empty when harvested. Because they are a natural product they will have naturally occurring chips and cracks, and should not be considered flawed. I love them on my beachy Christmas tree and I am sure you will too!
