Seashell ornaments 2010

So last year I had a great time using rhinestone trim to sparkle up some seashells .... And I loved the result. So this year I had to expand on the theme with white starfish.

Here are the original designs.... I used them for holiday tree/home decorations but ended up leaving some of them up all year round as beach house fun decor.....they're also very fun for hostess gifts and as a very special gift tag....

 
Or for beach celebrations : weddings, birthdays, anniversaries etc. Think they'd look awesome as a garland along a mantlepiece or as a celebratory banner decoration for a top table..... Without the hangers they'd look awesome put together as a still life table decoration.....door wreaths and candle wreaths coming soon .....

And this year I added the rhinestone and crystal decorated starfish.... The first batch are almost sold out so I need to make some more!

 Something very calming about having sealife in your decor..........

There's a couple left for sale on Etsy......  http://www.etsy.com/listing/54072340/crystal-starfish-ornament     Dotted crystal design   and  the rhinestone trim design..... http://www.etsy.com/listing/54069983/rhinestone-starfish-ornament
