Starfish Coastal Ornament Directions
Step 1
Take white glue and paint it onto the starfish. Immediately sprinkle with glitter. Pat down the shake off the excess.
*You might need two coats. In the case of the silver, I painted the starfish silver first, let it dry, and then glittered it with silver. In the case of the green and pink starfish, I glittered the pink section first, let it dry, and then did the remaining areas in green.
Step 2
Start gluing on the embellishments. A good source for inexpensive things to embellish your projects with is the clearance section and garage sales. At garage sales, look for old costume jewelry. It can be broken it doesn’t matter.
For the silver starfish, I used wire from Dollar Tree and twisted it with some pliers. Then, I snipped it and glued it into place.
Step 3
Take your eye pin and put it through your bead cap. Or you can just use a bead like below.
Note: You may need to shorten your eye pin in order to be able to stick it in the arm of the starfish. Use a little hot glue to keep it in place.
Step 4
Add a jump ring and a ribbon and you are done!
I hope you enjoyed it!
