Glitter-Striped Shell Ornament

Materials

• Tun shell (seashellcity.com)
• Glue pen
• Glitter (Martha Stewart Crafts, from Michaels)
• Metallic cord
• Hot-glue gun
• 1 pearl bead                                                           

Steps

1. Step 1

   The natural spots on a tun shell provide the "dots" on these ornaments. Using a glue pen (ours appears blue but dries clear), work in sections to add stripes to shell. 

2. Step 2

   Sprinkle with glitter; gently tap to remove excess, and let dry. 

3. Step 3

   Make hanging loop from metallic cord: Hot-glue knotted end of loop to inside tip of shell. Slip 1 pearl bead over loop, and secure in place with a dot of glue.
