Maritime Crafts - Seashell Crafts - Summer Craft Ideas - Natural Seashell Wreath

If you have been to the sea or ocean on holiday, then you know how hard it is to resist collecting seashells and other objects scattered around the beach. Kids especially love to collect these things in their buckets as souvenirs from their trip. When you get home, you do not want to throw away these treasures but sometimes do not know what to do with them. Why not make a wreath such as the above one to decoratively display them. This craft is so easy and is a lovely reminder of the trip long after the vacation is over.

 

 

 

Summer Nature Craft - Natural Wreath with Maritime Motifs

For this project you will need:

- 17 cm round (or 6.8 inches) styrofoam wreath
- natural ocean findings such as seashells and starfish (can also
  be purchased in home-decoration stores or craft stores)
- iceland moss in a natural color
- hot glue
- rope
- acrylic paint in tan

 

 

Instructions:

1. First you need to basecoat the wreath and let it dry. This is helpful so that the white color of the wreath does not show through in case the moss is thin.
2. Hot glue the moss pieces carefully on covering the wreath. If there are some weak spots, it is not a problem since you will be gluing the findings onto the wreath afterwards.
3. Once the moss is as you like it, arrange the shells and starfish in a decorative way and hot glue them onto the wreath.
4. Once you are satisfied with the wreath, tie a rope around for hanging.

How to Make Patterns and Permanent Templates
You need patterns and templates mainly for sewing crafts, wood crafts and paper crafts. Creating permanent templates is easy and has a couple of advantages. First, if you wish to create the same project more than once you will save a lot of time because the template is already prepared. And second, if you are working with a group, the templates are durable and can be easily passed along to the next person. Permanent templates are especially useful when making crafts with children.
