New! Fish Net Bracelets made with washed up fishing net

Image
We now sell handmade bracelets using fish nets we found on beaches around the Caribbean.  Nets are selected for color, comfort, and cleanliness.  After sanitizing the nets, we cut, shape, apply a magnetic locking clasp, and form into a wrist shape for comfortable wear.  All items are handmade.  Colors and quantities constantly change as we never know what colors and patterns of ropes we will find.   Visit our Etsy shop for more details and to order.  Contact us at shellsforsharks@yahoo.com for questions or information about bulk order pricing.

Christmas trees and Christmas songs, sales, and lights everywhere.  The poor turkey doesn't get as much kudos as he used to..... Here at Shells for Sharks, summer is the best time to collect shells and other sea treasures we use in our holiday decor and ornaments.  And when I get a basket full of shells and crab heads, what do you expect me to do? I'm a collecting and crafting FOOL in the summer! But that's OK, because as we've already talked about, Christmas will be here before you know it and these crafts I'm making now will find new homes on trees all across the country.  In fact, it's good that I'm preparing for the Christmas rush now because last year I was woefully understocked when the Etsy shopping got crazy.  Somehow Christmas

The purple of these earrings is naturally occurring.  A varnish is always applied to the sea fans to protect the color, whether the color is natural or dyed.  These earrings are super cute and light as a feather.
