Everbuilt 1/2 -1 1/2 in Hose Repair Clamp.
I have to say that this item stumped me more than any of the others. I had the hardest time determining what I was going to do with a hose clamp. This month we get tho create the gift for ourselves…how thoughtful of me. After overthinking this project I decided to create simple napkin rings adorned with Oyster Shells.
Oyster Shell Napkin Rings
Living near the beach, I have a collection of oyster shells waiting and ready to be used in a project. I applied a light coat of off white spray-paint to the hose repair clamps to spiff them up. With a glue-gun I attached the shells to the hose repair clamps.
Since creating my sharktooth necklace I have discovered the glory of gold leafing and decided to add a little to the shells.
I applied the gold leaf to each shell .
I sealed the gold leaf to the shells and allowed them to dry overnight.
I think that they turned out pretty good and will make a nice addition to a coastal dinner.
Since we are talking about gifts and the Holidays being right around the corner…check out my Custom Water Color Shop. These make really awesome and thoughtful gifts.
I have yet to try gold leafing, it adds a nice touch to your napkin holders! Cute ideas!
Roxanne it is cheap and soooo easy.
What a clever idea! I love how they turned out! They look beautiful with the napkin!
Thank you!

Just beautiful! I may have to steal your idea!
Wow, Carmody! These turned out so fabulous. Love the green and gold accents.:) So clever!
These are so fun!! I love that you added the gold leaf, it’s the perfect touch.
These are perfect Carmody!!! I may just have to whip up a few for our future outdoor dining table
I love this! And, with Thanksgiving and Christmas (I know), just around the corner, who doesn’t need super cute napkin holders?!
I have made one using gold leaf on each shell and it looks great! Awesome ideas. Love it!
