You will enjoy making these simple seashells Christmas ornaments. Hang them on your Christmas tree or give them as gifts to those who love the sea/ocean. Materials Needed: Styrofoam balls Seashells, beach rocks, sea glass, starfish, sand, pearls 14 piece of Ribbon or string for hanger Bow Skewer or ice pick Scissors Glue
Instructions: To make the seashell ball ornaments you will need to make a hole from one side of the styrofoam ball all the way through the center and out the other side of the ball. For that, you can use a wooden skewer, but you can use whatever you have at hand such as an ice pick or long nail, as long as it goes all the way through. Once you have a hole made, take your 14 piece of ribbon and fold it in half. Using your skewer push the two loose ends through the hole all the way through to the other side. Then tie a knot with the two loose ends on the bottom of the ball. You may need to make a double or triple knot so that it does not slip back through the hole. Put a dab of glue at the opening of the hole to help keep it snug. Then, do the same thing on the top of the ball with the ribbon
Now, it is time to glue the shells one by one. It helps to have a small cup to set the ornament in as you are working on gluing the shells. Only glue a few at a time and let them sit for a while, so they don t slip around. You may need to hold the shell in place for a second or two till it starts to grab. Try to get them as close to each other as possible.
Now that the whole ball is covered, it is time to add any embellishments like starfish, pearls, etc Now, you can add some half pearls and a starfish. Last, make a small bow with the ribbon you have left and glue it on top of the ball. You can use a piece of jute twine you have laying around to make a bow, then added a pearl in the center.
