Simple Seashell Heart Ornaments

I've always had a fondness for the gorgeous Sailor's Valentines of yesteryear.

Hundreds of tiny shells, placed ever so carefully in a beautiful pattern...

I can only imagine how long they must have taken to complete.

Just breathtaking!

These heart ornaments are fun, simple, and much less time-consuming!

Supplies:

Cardboard scraps

Assorted small seashells

Clear-drying liquid glue (such as Elmer's or Tacky Glue)

Strong scissors or an exacto knife

Twine or string

First, cut a heart shape from the cardboard.

Then, decide on a pattern and glue the shells in place.

Let dry completely and add a string loop to the back for a hanger.

Make a bunch to decorate a Valentine's Day tree, or to tie onto gifts!
