A New Skill I Learned this Summer.. 🐚✨

While living in my little cottage house in Portugal this summer, I learned a new skill!!

✨making seashell jewelry✨

I was staying in Europe for 3 months & did bring some nice jewelry, but I quickly got tired of it & thought “why not take it apart & make my own!?!” I didn’t have the proper tools, so I used tweezers & little eyebrow scissors, haha

Maybe now that I’m back in the USA with easy access to the correct tools & plenty of materials, I will make even more seashell jewelry!🐚😁🙌🏼
