Sea Shell Snowman Ornament

Here's a simple way to use up some of those sea shells you've been holding onto since your last trip to the beach...a sea shell snowman ornament!

Some sea shells already have holes in them, and those are perfect for this craft. Just paint a snowman face on your sea shell and thread a string through the hold on your shell and it's ready to hang on your Christmas tree!

Merry Christmas!

Sea Shell Crab Craft

We will probably never use all of our sea shells from Florida two summers ago, but it's fun finding different ways to re-purpose them...like making cute little Sea Shell Crabs!

Paint the sea shells red and let them dry.

Cut some red pipe cleaners (aka chenille stems) into 6 legs, and use two more to make the pinchers.

Hot glue those on, and add some googly eyes. Once the glue is hard, you can bend the legs so that your little crabs can stand!

Thank you Parents for the fun idea! I'm linking up to Creatively Crafty Link Party,
