Sanibel Seashells Will Give a Lift to Your Christmas Tree

If you like unusual and artsy stuff, you can really have a field day with Sanibel seashells.

Seashells are so beautiful in and of themselves, and their lovely configurations are ideal for creating unique Christmas tree ornaments.

According to one seashell crafts person, Patricia from Massachusetts, the ease of creating seashell X-Mas tree decorations makes for a great project for the whole family.

First, the recipe, what you need to get started.

 Ingredients Needed:

 Sea shells Gold Gilt or silver and gold paint Tiny rosebuds (silk or real) Pearls Glue gun Clear nail polish Gold or silver very thin ribbon or cord

Next, the process, what you need to do to "cook" your trinket:

1. Gilt or paint your shells and let dry. (you can also leave the shells plain and cover with clear nail polish if you prefer).

2. Glue a rosebud or pearl in the well of the shell or decorate it how you want.

3. Glue a loop of the thin ribbon or cord on the top to hang it with . Cover base of ribbon hang with with rosebud , pearl , or a bow.

A simple recipe, an easy meal!

All it takes is to get yourself down to Sanibel, and this Christmas it also should be easier than ever.

Lovely condos are available that normally are booked at this time of year. Airlines are offering good deals, car rentals are below normal in rates. And seashells? Well the shells are already there waiting for you and free for the taking!

 Here are ten good reasons to vacation on Sanibel:

1. You feel your stress depart and  spirits lift  as you come on Island over the Causeway.

2. You are awakened at 3 a.m. by the sounds of silence.

3. You have had nothing to drink but you see a flock of big, pink birds
fly over your head.

4. You observe many people stooped over on the beach gathering sea shells.

5. People rush past you at sunset heading to the beach with a bottle of wine and wine glasses.

6. Your nine year old goes to sleep before 10 p.m. and your fourteen year old wakes up before 10 a.m.

7. You have no idea what time it is or even what day it is.

8. Your biggest decision is choosing where you will go to dinner.

9. You finished that book that had been sitting on your nightstand at home for nearly a year.

10. You wonder why you feel so sad and realize it's your last day on the island.
