Sea Wreath

After your summer trips and vacations you've probably collected shells at the beach and other goodies. Rather than just throw them into a shoebox how about displaying them for all to see.

CAUTION: Be careful with the hot melt glue gun or get your parents help.

Here's what you'll need:

A small grapevine wreath, you can get them at craft stores. Use a bigger wreath if you have bigger shells.
Raffia
Seashells or other small collectable's. Hot melt glue

Wrap the grapevine wreath with the raffia. If you wrap it unevenly it adds interest to your project.
Glue or tie the ends of the raffia.
As a nice addition you can take a permanent marker pen and write the date inside a shell to remind you what year you collected all the neat stuff.
Glue your seashells or other small collectable's to the wreath.

That's it! It looks great hanging on the wall and it also makes a wonderful gift for family and friends.

We hope you liked this project. If you build it and your friends ask where you got such a clever idea, please tell them that you got it at RunnerDuck.com.
