I had some fun the last couple weeks making some necklaces from decoupaged oyster shells.
I had been putting holes in some shells to create some garlands and decided to drill some extras to create necklaces.
I have shared plenty of decoupaged shells in the past. If you still haven’t tried to make some, click here for simple instructions. Summer is a great time to try this craft made from some collected beach shells!
For making necklaces, drill the holes in the shells first. Then, decoupage – being sure to use the end of your paint brush to punch the appropriate hole where you have drilled after decoupaging. Next, add the chain, beads, rawhide, etc. of your choice to complete the necklace!
I happen to like a long necklace – with a 30” chain – but, your creation should reflect your own personal style.
Have some fun with it!
Thanks for stopping by! Happy Memorial Day weekend!
