I love decorating with seashells! I had this letter ‘H’ I was waiting to decorate. If it works out, I will decorate the ‘ O M E’ letters I have. So this is what I collected together… The burlap ribbon and net wired ribbon came from the dollar store…The ruffled burlap from Walmart along with the letters.
I started with one of those cardboard letters, lots of depth. I fiddled around with different coverings, but at the end I went with the burlap. I think it’s makes the shells more prominent. I wrapped it with the burlap. I glued up to the top back and hot glued it down. (If your putting this outside, use a glue specifically for that)
I then played around with the net wire ribbon. I love that ribbon. I glued it at the top back, and played with it a little as I went down to opposite corner and glued it down.
I have some sea glass I have been wanting to use……so I played around with it. I knew I wanted a starfish….or 3. So I put the biggest at top left. I put more of the glass in the bottom two sides. I just spray painted some berries I had white….and added that. This will be nice on my summer theme! Don’t we love summer! Oh and by the way, I sprayed the whole thing with Rust oleum Clear Coat.
It picked up the natural colors of the glass, and shells. Now I have to work on the O M E HOME….It will look great during the summer on my mantle! Thank you for looking!
How cute and summery!! I love burlap and I think it goes really well with the other items you added. 🙂

Thank you so much Valerie! I love summer projects especially working with materials that are ‘beachy’. The netting was found at the dollar store where the ribbon is. $1….great price! Thank you for looking Valerie. Be sure to sign up for my free monthly giveaway! Awesome gifts!

Every beachfront house should have one like that, once you finish the rest of the letters!

Of course they disappear! I’ve see things like that sold for $20 – $25 for each letter! You need to get a beachfront house first, then make one for yourself,
