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

Copyright: All patterns, pictures and text found on Craftideas.info are property of this website and may be only printed out and used for private or non-commercial purposes. It is not permitted to use them on the internet or in any other publication.

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.
