Holiday ornaments - Paper and shell
Tear pieces of heavyweight handmade paper into squares. Turn paper on the diagonal; glue shell to center of diamond with craft contact cement, then glue straw netting to paper surface so shell sits in it. Tie paper and shell ornaments to the tree with raffia.
Holiday ornaments - palm frond wreath
Cut palm fronds and organize by size. Arrange the largest fronds in
a circular pattern, hot-gluing consecutively in a fan shape until
reaching the smallest palm. (Note: Make sure frond-blade ridges
face down.) To hang the wreath, run florist's wire through the back
and make a loop. Star: Affix five turret shells, spires pointing
outward, with hot glue or craft contact cement to make a star. Glue
any flat round shell--such as a small periwinkle, nerite, pheasant,
or moon shell--in the center of the star.
