Beth from The Stories of A 2 Z created Beach Christmas Ornaments in a very literal sense! I've never seen this before and just love it.
And she made her beach Christmas ornaments on the beach too! Filling the glass balls with sand and shells.
It's super easy.

And so lovely.

Oh Maya!!! I absolutely adore this! I am going to have to post it... and of course I will link you. I have some tiny pieces of beach glass sitting in a bag in my desk drawer that my 8 year old found in Maine this summer. He will love this crafty idea!
Now I have about 30 massive clam/quahog? shells... any ideas as to what I can do with them?!!!
Cute idea
Alison
These are beautiful!!! Do you mind if I post on my blog, with link to yours?
Very nice!
I have two boxes of those bulbs in my cupboard. This is the idea they were waiting for. Thanks
What a neat idea! Those are beautiful!
Adorable! Thanks for showing the process, because I certainly wouldn't have thought to use a funnel!
Your picture this week is making me hungry.......
Jessica, I'm working on the Quahog shells..., it's a fun challenge for me to try finding creative ideas what to do with them..., it'll take some time though, but I have not forgotten!!!
Karen, you are more than welcome to post this on your blog with a link back (that is very much appreciated -thanks).
This is so Brilliant! I love it!
I bought one once in Hawaii to bring back for my daughter. Every year I give her an ornament. I thought having a piece of the beach would be a nice gift ornament. We used to spend every weekend at the beach when she was a child.
So cute - I just love this idea!
Really nice idea !! I will make it for my X-mas tree!! Thanks!
On my honeymoon in Maui 20-something years ago, I collected a bunch of teeny, tiny shells from the beach. I've been hanging onto them all these years, looking for some way to use them and keep them as a remembrance of that special time. This is the way! Beautiful idea! =)
Brilliant!
so simple!!! i love it, i am going to make some during the thanksgiving break!
I've done this and they are beautiful. I tied a little colored ribbon at the top of mine in sea glass green.

oh how darn cute:)
such a great idea! what a fun hostess gift!
Maya thanks for posting my project and linking back :). If anyone wants to post this to their blog, I would appreciate a link back to my own blog. Thanks!
I LOVE this! I'll have to do this for my sea themed tree!
I did these too! Are we sharing a brain?
I have done this with the sand and shells I have collected from the beaches I have visited.
I then painted the name of the island or beach the sand came from.
Love love love this!
My husband moved to Padre Island in August and live right on the beach. I have collected hundreds of shells and this clear ornament project is a perfect way to decorate in a simple yet tasteful way. I'm also giving these to friends and family to entice them to come and see us and collect their own shells and sand!
I love this idea! Had to even share it on my blog- http://diy4mommies.blogspot.com/2011/12/diy-christmas-gifts.html
This was better then just buying some random gift & sending it off, I felt like I was mailing home to my friend that had to move away. Thank you again.
