Seashells Window Treatment

This idea is great for creating a soothing and relaxing environment in your child's room and best of all it's so easy to do!  

Material's and Tools Needed:

  • Various seashells
  • Organza Ribbon, soft pastel green and blue
  • Curtain rod (iron style used here)
  • Drill
  • 1/4" drill bit
  • Measuring tape

Step one: Start by measuring the length of your window and cutting various sizes of ribbon to hang from your rod. Be sure to allow approximately 3 inches for tying onto rod.

Step two: Drill a small hole in each seashell at the top. Be sure to take into consideration the direction you want the shells to hang.  The yardage of ribbon used depends on how dense you want the treatment to be and window size.  Shells can be hung at varying lengths or all even, the choice is yours.

Step three: Thread your ribbon through the hole in the shell and tie a knot. Tie the other end of ribbon onto your curtain rod.

Viola' .... now wait for that perfect summer night to leave the window open and hear the gentle breeze rock the shells in a soothing tone. A great wind chime to put them to sleep!

Instead of shells, try beads or ornaments (great Holiday idea).

 Funky ribbons in exciting colors an textures to coordinate with 
your color or theme.
