I saw this wreath on pinterest so I thought I would take a "shot" at it and make one myself rather then pay the $99.00 dollars that they are asking for theirs.
 |
| First I hot glued about two hundred shells together by gluing two inch string from the inside of one empty shell to the other empty shell. Make about two hundred sets like this. |
 |
| I bought a wreath frame from Michaels (around $3.00), I looped each shell through the middle and dangled a set over the inside and again over the outside of the frame. |
 |
| You can see the frame has four frame wires. I hot glued the strings into place so when I lifted it to hang it everything didn't slide downward. |
 |
| This is the backside of it. I also tied a ton of little tweed type bows around the inside and outside to hide any green frame from showing, but to also give it a bit more of a rustic look. |
 |
I hung it on a wall for display. You can see from gluing the shells in place all the shells stay in place all the way around pretty evenly and you can see the tweed string a bit throughout the inside and outside. I finished it with a Burlap bow. I really like it. I suppose you could wind some lights into it if you want, I kept it pretty simple.
Thank You for checking it out. ßeçk¥ |
