Beach Wedding Accessories, and More from The Sleepy Seahorse

I've started making beach hair accessories, embellished with faux pearls and Swarovski elements.  These would be lovely in a beach wedding or tropical vacation!


 
 
More ornaments


 
 
Ring Dishes - These could be used by a ring bearer in a wedding, or put it on your dresser to hold your rings and other jewelry.  It could also be used as a small candy dish, or display it by itself as a decorative seashell piece.
 

 
 
These lovely wall hangings would be a perfect addition to any home with beach décor.

More Sleepy Seahorses, Part 2 (And a Few Photo Frames)


I really love making seahorse wall hangings, and they've continued to be successful in my shop, so here are a few more.  Soon I'll be branching out into other forms of sea life wall décor. 

 
The green on this one is bits of sea glass. 
 
 

 
 

And a few photo frames.  5x7 and 8x10

More Sleepy Seahorses!


Since my last two seahorses have been pretty successful, I've made two more - this time in pink and brown.  They both measure about 10.5 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide with standard hooks on the back to hang them.

A Seahorse for The Sleepy Seahorse!

I've finally got a seahorse wall hanging up in my shop! 

Comprised of mostly white and iridescent seashells on a wooden seahorse form, it would be perfect in any home featuring beach or coastal décor, and even more so in a bathroom with an ocean theme.  It measures 11 inches tall by 4.5 inches wide with a standard hook on the back to hang it.

Here are some 8x10's

Beach Decor Wall Hangings from The Sleepy Seahorse


I have three new items to share today, all of which can be hung on the wall and would be a lovely addition to any home featuring beach décor. 

8x10 horizontal picture frame.  It contains a photo of a gorgeous Sanibel Island sunset.  The inner perimeter is lined with white jingle shells and turquoise limpets, and the top features a large pink scallop with assorted seashells and a pink sea urchin clustered atop of it. 


 
 
Here is another photo frame that can be hung on the wall.  This one is 4x6.  It can be displayed either vertically or horizontally. 




Small, square mirror.  It is completely covered in south Florida seashells, and a large white knobby starfish.  This would be perfect for a small nook on a bathroom wall!



This wreath is also adorned with only Florida seashells.  The burlap covering makes it a bit rustic. 



Since my shop is called The Sleepy Seahorse, I'm excited to finally be making seahorse wall hangings.  There will be more of these in my shop very soon!

New Seashells from The Sleepy Seahorse

I haven't posted in awhile, so I have a variety of new items to share.  Hope you enjoy them!

This is the first ring dish I've ever created.  It's basically just a large iridescent clam shell adorned with calico scallops, other assorted seashells, and faux pearls.  It could actually be used for a multitude of decorative purposes in a home with beach décor or a beachy themed wedding.  For example, it could serve as a candy dish or stand alone as a decorative seashell piece.  In a wedding, it would make a lovely ring bearer holder, and of course it's also perfect in the bedroom/bathroom to hold rings or other jewelry. 



This is the latest shell box I've created.  It's the most rustic one I've done so far, and it would ideal for any nautical or beachy décor of a rustic nature.  I've stretched faux fishing net diagonally across it, and then clustered only Florida seashells on top as though they are coming out of the net across the box. 

 
These are my newest photo frames.  I love the circular one, and of course you can adjust the placement of the picture so the shell clusters tilt at whatever angle is desired. 
 
 
 
Once again, I used mostly Florida seashells here.  The sunset photo was taken at Lover's Key State Park near Ft. Myers - one of the loveliest spots in all of Florida, in my opinion. 

 
 
 
And lastly, here are my most recent ornaments.
 
 


This one (below) I designed specifically to be a wedding ornament.
 
 

 
I wanted to find a way to showcase an ornament without having to hang it.  So below is a decorated scallop ornament that sits on an easel rather than having a hanger on the back.
