Beach Christmas ornaments are a perfect gift for coastal lovers. My family loves to go to the beach each year. We don’t own a beach home but I always like to bring home a beach memory. Christmas ornaments are a great choice. Here are some ways that I incorporate them into my decor and my style.
Embellish Wine Bottles with Oyster Shell Christmas Ornaments
I have a small nook where we serve wine to our guests. A fun way to embellish each wine bottle is to hang a “beach Christmas ornament” around the neck of the bottle. Everyone always notices and comments on these special decorations.
Create a Napkin Ring With a Beach Christmas Ornament
Using the oyster shell nutcracker Christmas ornament create a festive napkin ring. Simply place the shell ornament on top of the napkin and wrap the ribbon around it several times. This could even be a gift for all your dinner guests.
Hang Beach Christmas Ornament on a China Cabinet
When my home is decorated for Christmas I like to have little holiday touches everywhere. Often I hang special ornaments on my china cabinet. Just tie the ribbon around a handle and enjoy the nutcracker ornament in any room.
Embellish a Gift with a Beach Christmas Ornament
My grandmother was a gift wrap genius. Sometimes she added special treats to the outside of a gift. Adding a beach Christmas ornament to a gift is a great idea and creates memories of special times at the beach. I designed this large palm tree ornament. It makes a statement on the gift and on your Christmas tree.
Place Beach Christmas Ornaments on your bookshelf
I like to make bookshelves interesting with a mix of books as well as objects of art. Place the oyster shell ornament on a small easel and let the ribbon flow around it. I also added small pinecones and berries at the base of the easel. During the Christmas holidays, this little touch creates a festive atmosphere on your bookshelf.
Use Beach Christmas Ornament as a Bookmark
During the Christmas season, I like to place holiday books on my coffee table. I also love books about shells and beach memories. A fun way to use the palm tree beach Christmas ornament is as a bookmark.
Embellish a Vase with a Beach Christmas Tree Ornament
I love flowers every season. Many times I embellish the vase or container that holds the flowers. Using my beach Christmas ornaments is a great way to turn an ordinary vase into some extraordinary.
Create a Newel Post Decoration
I like to add a special touch to the newel post. It is the first thing that people see when they enter my home. Many times I use holly, pinecones, and red berries and add my oyster shell nutcracker Christmas ornament to decorate the newel post. Other times I have used the silver shell Christmas ornament to create an interesting newel post decoration.
Decorate Your Mantel with Beach Christmas Ornaments
Combining my blue and white Chinoiserie vases and oyster shell art with the Nutcracker Christmas ornaments is one of my favorite ways to decorate my mantel. I first begin with the blue vases and then add my classic nutcrackers. The base of the mantel is filled with holly, pinecones, and berries. The nutcracker ornaments hang from the mantel.
Hang Beach Christmas Ornaments on Christmas Tree
Each year I add new ornaments to my tree and memories of beach trips are special decorations. The classic Nutcracker Ornament will always be one of my favorites. The pink Ikat, blue Ikat, and blue and white Chinoiserie blend well with my home decor so I love these as well. Each is handcrafted in the Classic Legacy studio from a real oyster shell.
Wear the Beach Christmas Ornament as a Necklace
I often wear one of the beach Christmas ornaments as a necklace. It is fun and can be great any time of the year.
Be creative with beach Christmas ornaments. They are great hostess gifts and gifts that will bring back happy memories of beach trips.
