How to create a ‘Summer Beach Cottage’ Look w/ DIY Seashell Centerpieces

Today I would like to share with you a seashell summer centerpiece using what you may already have and some very inexpensive and recycled items to create and bring some summer fun inside your home.

A lot of you may have a seashell collection and have probably placed them in some sort of jar or bowl…. Why not display and arrange them in a floral arrangement in a decorative bowl. If you want to add capiz shells to your seashell centerpiece, you can find them here: Capiz Shells ($14/100 shells ).

I chose to use a green bowl to bring out the color of the ocean, but you can do this using any bowl you may have.

Add your latest seashells in between the layers to not only add interest, but this also will help you separate your shell petals.

Place shells in between the layers of capzi shells.

 

Once you have achieved the look you want place your smaller seashells in the middle to create the center of your flower arrangement.

Tip:  to add height to my DIY seashell centerpieces, I place the bowls on twig pedestals adorned with some green glass elements.

The nice thing about arranging your capiz shells and seashells  in sand is you can move and finalize your arrangement to perfection.

About Tammy

Tammy enjoys the challenge of reinventing her décor. She’s great at figuring out how to make something out of ‘nothing’. To her, all ‘left-overs’ have a purpose. So her urge to recycle |reuse | revamp | redecorate | remodel, creatively and beautifully, is natural. And that shows.

Tammy is the living proof that decoration with what you have | recycled materials, plus maybe a small budget for craft supplies, can create beautiful results. When you walk through her house and her garden, as displayed in her blog, you see a tastefully decorated place that has personality and a sense of home.

Tammy used to own a retail scrapbooking business and her blog is that ‘One More Time’ love affair with the creative world. While her emphasis at ‘One More Time’ blog is on decorating, at the FineCraftGuild she shares her how-to’s and gives us more than a little peak on how things are put together. And yes, all of these beautiful photos above are all hers!
