FLAMINGO SHELL Christmas Ornament

FLAMINGO SHELL Christmas Ornament. You might notice that there are no ridges on the shell, that is because this is a North Atlantic Scallop Sea Shell from New England. I wash the Shell with detergent and bleach to remove the dirt and odors. Then, I grind the edges to remove the sharp edges and drill a hole for the hanger. Next is to paint the back with Enamel paint to uphold and any wear & tear. Now I decoupage the front of the Shell, apply 2 coats of sealer. Wow, I'm almost done, now I paint the edges with either gold or silver Enamel paint, then put in the satin ribbon for the hanger. Hope you enjoy your ornament and your family in these very special times. T53
