My original plan was to spray paint the wreath with metallic nickel a la Pottery Barn silver shells, but I actually liked it au-natural so it is staying as is for now.
I simply hot glued the shells onto the wreath. I started with the larger shells and went around the wreath. Then I filled in with the smaller and more decorative shells. I love how it turned out. Since I was using a small wreath form, I was able to use just one basket for each wreath.
First I placed them in our bedroom, which I liked but didn't {love}. I have other plans in there and decided these wreaths could replace the birthday wreath that still was on our door from my daughters birthday party over a month ago! (No fear - there are other decorations still up too! It is like a summer-long party over here! Hee hee!)
