DIY Decoupaged Seashells | Fancy Mermaid Shells DIY Tutorial

If you're a beachcomber like I am and have lots of seashells at home, this is a fun and creative way to do something special with them. Decoupaged shells have been popular for a while now and I was determined to try out the craft for myself! 

You only need a few basic supplies and in a little bit of time you will have lovely, fancy decoupaged shells suitable to give as gifts to your very favorite mermaid! 

I've had these shells in my workshop for what seems like forever! I had planned on building them into a stained glass lamp but... you know how that goes when you get busy with other things. Mine are scallop shells but you can use oyster shells or large clam shells too. 
 

I created a video tutorial for how I made mine, so be sure to check it out! 

Below are the basic supplies you will need, which I explain in more detail in the video. 

  

Thanks for watching and I hope you are having a great start to your New Year! And don't forget to head on over to my YouTube channel and see what else is new!

Beautiful Painted & Decoupaged Pumpkins


Who doesn't love decorating with pumpkins in autumn and of course for Halloween? 
How about trying something new this year? Instead of carving a pumpkin, 
try painting or decoupaging it instead. 

The basic decoupage supplies that you will need are: decoupage 
medium (Mod Podge is commonly the chosen decoupage medium of the masses),
a wide brush or sponge brush to apply the decoupage medium, and of course you 
will need whatever material you plan on applying to your pumpkin. Some ideas
include: paper party or guest napkins, lightweight material scraps, paper images, 
sheet music, and tissue paper. 

For painted pumpkins, you can use a variety of different types of paint, from basic
household spray paint (please follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and 
work in a well-ventilated area, such as outside), to acrylic craft paint. Check out a
few of my favorite painted and decoupaged decorate pumpkin inspirations 
below and maybe you'll be inspired to create a unique pumpkin too!
