Materials

  • Seashell-shaped wire frame (about 14×14 inches)
  • 1 Burlap fabric (15×15 inches)
  • Turquoise ribbon or paint (6-8 feet)
  • 10-12 Flat pearls (½ inch diameter)
  • 6-8 Mini wooden seahorses (1-2 inches tall)
  • Hot glue gun and 6-8 glue sticks
  • Decorative ribbon for bow (mix of lace, gingham, and glittered fabric, 2-3 yards total)
  • Scissors

Instructions

  • Lay the burlap flat and place your wire shell frame on top. Cut the burlap slightly larger than the frame, then glue or weave it to the back so the texture shows through the open pattern. Trim any excess fabric for clean edges.
  • Outline the frame with turquoise ribbon or paint each section for a more defined seashell shape. Allow paint to dry if used.
  • Decorate each panel by gluing flat pearls where the lines of the frame intersect ,this adds subtle shimmer and dimension.
  • Attach wooden seahorses randomly across the shell for a charming coastal feel. You should vary their placement for a more natural look.
  • Create a full layered bow using a mix of wide glitter ribbon, lace, and checked fabric. Then secure it with hot glue at the shell’s base and embellish the center with a few extra pearls
  • Now add a loop or hanger on the back if you plan to mount it on a wall.
