Cowrie Shell Flower Jewelry and Shoe Clips!
I love taking fun embellishments and adding them
to plain old shoes or strappy sandals!
Shoe clips are perfect to switch up!

Cowrie shells are so fun. They look like little shark mouths!
These ones have had their backs cut off. You can buy them cut like this at the craft store
for cheap...or use something like a dremel tool to cut your own!

Sticking 5 of these little shells together makes the perfect flower!

So pick 5 that are all about the same size.

And you will need some twine and a bead too.
For the demonstration purposes, I used pink and white
twine...so you can see it better!

Start with about 5 feet of twine.
Thread it through the shells...leaving about 3 inches of twine to tie off later.
alternating going through the top of it...
or going up through the backside of it.
Then continue threading it in and out of the shells in a circle.

Keep going around the flowers until it feels firm and holds its shape...
as opposed to flopping around.
Then wrap the twine between every shell and back through the center...
leaving both loose ends of twine on the backside of the flower.
