DIY Christmas Seashell Ornaments

Wondering what to do with your seashell collection?  Let’s add a bit of wire and turn them into ornaments!

All you need is a few shells

and some 20 gauge wire and some wire cutters!

The ridges around the top of the shell act as a way to secure the wire.

I had two types of wire that I wanted to use.  However, the silver wire turned out to be too thin.  The gold wire is a 20 gauge wire and was perfect for wrapping around the “lip” of the shell.

 

I used wire snips to cut pieces of wire about 12 inches long.  I simply wrapped the wire around the top of the shell in order to hold the shell in place.

To hang, simply wrap wire around the branch of the Christmas tree.

These cute little seashell Christmas tree ornaments are perfect for decorating your Coastal Themed holiday tree!
