Sand Dollar Garland Knock Off
A while back Pottery Barn had a beautiful sand dollar garland hanging over one of their headboards.
Please visit the bold blue links in this post to find more information and the products I recommend.
It was beautiful and here is my own knock-off version...
I started with faux starfish and sand dollars.
The shells I used are not real but you can not tell, even close up!
You could certainly use real sand dollars and starfish if you are lucky enough to find some.
I added small coral between each piece.
Another idea is to spray paint the starfish, maybe with a metallic color like gold or silver.
I also made the seashell candlesticks by just hot gluing beautiful shells into the top of thrifted candlesticks, it was a simple project.
I think my garland came out looking just as good as theirs!
Another shell idea is to decoupage clam shells, this was a fun project with great results!
Before you go you're going to want to see the beautiful shiny shells I gave out as gifts.
Here are a few more if you love summer shell projects!
I hope you enjoyed this project and you'll take a look at my Amazon Shop for craft supplies I recommend.
I love your garland...very simple and yet very beautiful. Oh...love your rock fireplace too! Lesa

I love this idea. There is nothing so beautiful as a perfect sand dollar. I wish I lived near the beach so I could pull off beach themed decorations. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteOK, that is gorgeous! We'll be hitting the waters this weekend and I'll get my son to find me some sand dollars so I can make this too - thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice accent piece. I'm kicking myself for not remembering to grab a basket full of sand dollars I saw at an estate sale. I got distracted with my other finds, and forgot to ask about them.
ReplyDeleteSusan, your summer beachy garland is fantastic! I think our class room needs a garland too.
ReplyDeleteVery cute, love it!
ReplyDeleteso pretty! Thanks for linking up and sharing!
ReplyDeleteCute! I've been looking for something like this for my guest bedroom! This turned out great!

Lovely! Such a simple and elegant garland. Great idea! Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLovely! We had a trip to the beach earlier this month and I found a little bit of a sand dollar (a relatively whole bit).
ReplyDeleteThis is the second time today 've heard of something awesome from this Christmas Tree place. I must find one!
I made a felt sand dollar garland earlier this summer, but I really like the au natural look! I may have to do this for my boyfriend's boat/beach themed office!
ReplyDeleteI like yours better too Susan...great job...I think I'll be making one of these too....we are at the beach so I may use some of my daughters finds to make it...thx for sharing....come on over and visit...Mariaelena
