You have seen decoupaged oyster shells on my blog before, but today I am including a few honoring the Christmas holiday.
I decided to make some as gifts and thought I’d share the pretty holiday patterns with you on today’s post.
Shown here are a few of my favorite decoupaged Christmas patterns.
If you are inspired, you still have time to craft a few of your own! You can get to the link with my original DIY instructions by clicking here.
Living on the coast, I salvage shells from the beach, but if you need them, most craft stores have some in stock.
Remember that other types of shells will work also, but a heavy, hard-to-break shell is best – I like oyster, clam, and scallop for good- sized, smooth surfaces.
Seas and greetings!
Thanks for stopping by!
Have a great weekend and remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
I love this Christmas oyster shell! Love the linen look of the napkin. Can you tell me where I might find this napkin? I am a newbie to shell decoupaging and enjoying it as a way to help with my corona cabin fever. Also wondering what color gold trim you used on this ornament. Thank you for sharing. I spent the morning “scouring” your website/blog and am so enjoying it!
Also love you simple but elegant glass initial ornament in cream and black. How do you free hand the initial so perfectly. Are there any templates/stencils I can cheat with? Thanks again, Pat from Cape Cod…a transplant from CT!
Sorry I didn’t answer sooner Pat. I find my napkins at Homegoods, Marshalls, or Christmas Tree Shop. When I buy gold paint I always buy something that’s not a true gold – like a champagne gold – anything that just says gold is usually tacky looking. I do freehand the initials, but you can probably use a stencil or cut out an initial and trace it. It is a good time to work on Christmas ornaments for next year. I always end up making a bunch right after the holidays!!
Thanks for your email!! xo
