This is what happens when you combine sharpies, some shells, old school Christmas music, a good cup of coffee ( with or without Baileys), and about 45 minutes of unplugged zen time. I’m not sure if this is considered crafting, but if it does, I can now say I officially got crafty for the Holidays.
Regardless, I think these festive shells might turn into a new Holiday tradition. Levi even did a few (He colored his all blue with a smiley face on the inside.) If I had my act in gear I’d make them into ornaments, but for now scattered on a table, the mantle, or under the tree they shall go.
Basically, you just grab some shells/beachcombing finds, a red, black, and white sharpie, and just go to town. The Santa hats are super easy (and crack me up). Then on the Fair Isle/Ugly Sweater/Knit looking ones you draw rows of different “knit looking” shapes. Think – dashed lines, zigzags, hearts, crosses, trees, and my favorite…the reindeer. Or Moose. It’s a close call.
It was just a great way to zone out, unwind, and get (somewhat) crafty, while getting in the holiday spirit, with minimal effort, and maximum beach vibes.
‘Tis the season beach bums. Have fun.
So festive !! Little green bow or pine needle would be lovely 😊
Oooo! New blog layout! How do you like it?
P.S.
Love the sweater shells.
Thank you so much! I’m loving it! It’s such a relief, and I’ve been meaning to do this for years now. So glad you like the toes too 🙂
