Miss G. is in the process of slowly cleaning out her bedroom and she found a bag of shells from a holiday long past. Inside the bag were shells with little holes in them that she had obviously kept with the idea of stringing them into a necklace or two. She asked me if I would like to use them for anything and of course I said yes with a creative project in mind.
I needed some fishing line to start my project and as hubbie could only find yellow, that's what I used.
About a third of the way through stringing shells, I decided that shells by themselves were a bit boring, so I raided my button stash.
This is the end result.
Unfortunately my photos didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped so it's a bit hard to see the seashell/button thingy hanging in my garden room. Please excuse the mess through the garage window, hubbie is have a fantastic time cleaning out years worth of junk. My garden room needs a spring clean too.
I had a very pleasant half hour making a simple decorative item for my garden room. I hope all the creative people in blog land find a few minutes for creativity this weekend. Have a good one.
