Vintage-Inspired Scallop Shell Ornament – Coastal Christmas Decor, Candy Cane & Peppermint Design, Hand-Decoupaged Holiday Keepsake

Bring a touch of unexpected holiday charm to your tree with this vintage-inspired scallop shell ornament, designed to feel like a treasured keepsake from a well-loved Christmas collection.

Each ornament begins with a real scallop shell, carefully selected for its natural ridges and organic shape. The surface is hand-decoupaged with a classic holiday motif—candy canes, peppermints, evergreen trees, and festive hearts—then sealed to create a softly frosted, textured finish that catches the light beautifully. A subtle dusting of sparkle enhances the shell’s natural contours, giving it a gentle glow without overpowering its charm.

The edge is finished with a hand-painted golden trim, adding warmth and contrast, while a white braided cord and decorative metal hook make it ready to hang on your tree, garland, or seasonal display.

This piece is intentionally imperfect—its texture, variation, and slight irregularities are what give it character and make each ornament truly one of a kind.

A Note on Handmade Character

Because each ornament is crafted using a natural shell, no two pieces are exactly alike. Slight variations in shape, texture, and finish are part of the design and are celebrated as part of the handmade process.
