My crafty homemade coastal Christmas 2011.
Razor shells from the beach are my Coastal Christmas Tree Topper. I tied the first shell to the tree with wire, then hot glued the other shells on top, plus added a piece of seaglass for a touch of green.
I cut out a ribbon garland from left over drop cloth, made a stencil to get blue waves on it with spray paint, and fringed the edges. Crafty Christmas decorations as promised.
My husb made a stocking and an awesome wooden lighthouse. The stocking was store bought and toned down with mesh fabric, then edged with rope.
My DIY stocking, made from drop cloth. Shell and rope are hot glued on. I also draped a piece of fish netting that I had in my beach find collection over a parcel.
All the crafty homemade Christmas tree decorations. Shell topper, shell ornaments, sand filled clear ball ornaments and drop cloth wave garland.
I stole a branch from the Christmas tree in the living room to create a sparkly display with Christmas lights, a few scallop shells and a Fishing Glass Float.
In the dining room, a small green wreath hangs over a window and in the distance you see my Mini Driftwood Tree. On the left, My Shell Garland.
In the Kitchen you find a mini Christmas tree. The tree's topper is a large whelk shell from the local beach.
Dangling from the branches, my wooden cutout ornaments, featured on 12 Homemade Xmas Ornaments to Make.
And more crafty homemade Christmas decorations from the beach on the kitchen counter. A jar full of seaglass with Christmas lights.
A lantern with scallop shells glued on sits on the kitchen island. And a large green wreath with Christmas lights is hanging in between windows over the sink.
Lastly, a buoy with a bow. It hangs from the staircase by the entry. And that's my crafty homemade Christmas tour.
