Sea Shell DIY

In keeping with this week’s Little Mermaid theme, I’ve been crafting away with sea shells.

Shells are a great craft supply; if you live near a beach, you’ve basically got a free supply right there and a lot of fancier seafood you can buy from the supermarket comes with shells now too. Cleaning them up is easy enough with hot soapy water in the sink, but you can also put them in the dishwasher too!

So here are just a few quick little DIYs to add a little under the sea to your home!

First of all, you could spray paint them..

Or turn them into cute hair accessories..

Or miniature trinket boxes..

Or fill a decorative vase..

Or make into cute little tealights..

And large shells would make a great jewellery dish..

Or key dish..

Or even a soap disc..

Alice in Wonderland Jewellery Finds

This week I’ve once again searched Etsy high and low to find you the cutest jewellery from through the looking glass..

That’s right, Alice in Wonderland!

1. Bunny Ring from Applelatte

Available in gold or silver (not white!), and lacking a pocket watch and waistcoat, but these sweet rings would be a hit at any tea party!

2. Queen of Hearts Earrings from Woolly Bloom Design

The playing cards might have messed up, but who cares when it leads to such adorable earrings?!

3. White Rabbit Pocket Watch Necklace from Ginny’s Boutique

You can’t do Alice in Wonderland without a pocket watch!

4. Have a Cuppa earrings from Petite Pollini

I’m a real sucker for tiny studs. Well, you’d be a Mad Hatter not to love these..

5. Charm Bracelet from My Lady Crafts

An elegant summary of the story in bracelet form!

6. Bronze Curious Pendant from Littlegorjussthings

Tipping our hats to Lewis Carroll with a classic quote from the book

Note: as usual, these items have been picked by me because I had to share them with you! I haven’t been asked by any of the sellers to feature their items.

Frozen Jewelry Finds

I don’t think anyone can argue that Frozen has taken the world by storm.

And while (unfortunately!) its not entirely practical for us to start strutting around in Elsa’s gorgeous ice-blue dress, I’ve found a few little Etsy darlings, all totally affordable, that can add a bit of Frozen to any outfit..

1. Tiny Rudolf and Snowflake Earrings from Applelatte
