Such a pretty color, that wreath is terrific.

Since the shells are painted, what does the mod podge do?

Beautiful, jojo! Such a lovely blue color.

I coated the shells with mod podge (after painting) for shine and durability.

That is gorgeous!

Do you have any left? You can make Christmas trees!

Lovely!

Love this!

That is beautifulJojoco, and the perfect color and medium for a waterside wreath— it couldn’t he any better!

That is very pretty, Jojoco! I am not one bit creative but DD is.so I’m sending this pic to her. She and her pickleball buddies took a trip to the Gulf last fall. She made rhese little trinket holders/ornamenrs for each one as a memento of their trip. She used cocktail napkins with the pickleball paddles and decopaged them on the shells, adding the pearls for a little glam.

Absolutely lovely. Well done!

So pretty!

That wreath is beautiful!!!!

The shells are fabulous--the bow, I think you could do better. The mod podge is water soluble. The acrylic paint is also. Water soluble on water soluble gets you nothing as far as protection of say rain, if you plan to hang this outdoors.

Wow - that is beautiful - love the color!

Well then, since you still have approximately 50,949 shells left over, I'd love one of your wreaths! My check will be in the mail as soon as you agree, including postage... The color is perfect and one of my bathrooms has a seaside theme, to compensate for living 50 miles from the ocean. Thanks in advance, lol! =)

My two favorite colors! Turquoise and tan. Beautiful.

Arcy, t the wreath is for indoor use only. As far as the bow goes, we did make a second, larger one that seemed to dwarf it. But I may go back to it. The bow in the picture is not fluffed and attached it’s just sitting on it. I can make it look better, but in the end, it may be too small.

Roxanna, shipping this kind of wreath would make me so nervous. As it is, I will bring it in the car with me to Connecticut. Certainly not trusting Movers and packers. But if I decide to try and make more of these, you’ll be the first to know.

Pretty!

Love it!

So pretty! I love the color!

^^^^I agree - the color is perfect for a cottage wreath!

So many creative/talented people on here. We should keep sharing ideas!

So pretty! What a great idea!

Love this !

I love how the wreath looks. Decoupaging all those shells was a lot of work.

My Austin oyster shell sits on my dresser where I see it every day.

Oh my jojoco!! Absolutely beautiful! Love.

That is beautiful! It will look fantastic in your cottage. Great job!

Love it, Jojoco! You (and friends) did a wonderful job.

Wow, that is magnificent! Unique, beautiful, lovely color - just a winner all the way around. That was a lot of work, but well worth it!

Very pretty!

The wreath and the bow look great!

Some people seem to enjoy being the forum wet blanket.

That is beautiful! Love it.

Really beautiful! love it.

and I love the pickleball trinket ones too:)

That is truly beautiful!! You are talented.

That wreath is incredibly beautiful, Jojo. You are so talented! I have my oyster shell that you made for me on my desk, and I think of you every time I see it.

A great idea, just lovely.
