Sea Urchin




Find inspiration in the little things! I love shells! I have them in the base of a glass lamp, I have a couple in the bathroom, I have a vase filled with them that floats around my house but I wanted a new way to display them....

I got this idea from my cousin Erika. String together sea urchins (one of my favorites from the sea) and hang! I have one in the doorway between my living room and kitchen, it gives the eye something interesting to pause on in a room full of ordinary objects. This little pink one I made would be a great gift for my friend who is expecting (hopefully a girl) and is doing a beachy theme in her child's nursery.

I used some leather from an old necklace that I never wear anymore, but you could use any sort of ribbon or twine.

Happy Creating!
