In a world where we can decoupage so many things, there is nothing that looks more lovely than decoupage seashells. There is something so elegant about taking a seashell and adding just enough decorative flair to it that it grabs someone’s attention. If you want to learn how to decoupage seashells, this is the place to try it out!
How to Decoupage Seashells
Decoupage is simply this: decorating objects with paper cut-outs. Yet the result is usually anything but simple. Decoupaging any decoration can add just enough uniqueness to a craft. People will be asking you how you do it!
This is not the first time we have used napkins to decoupage. Using napkins to decoupage can be great with glass jars, plastic containers, upcycled metal and wood surfaces and even rocks and driftwood – we had a lot of fun with all that!
While everything below will teach you how to decoupage seashells, once you start doing decoupage with crafts you won’t want to stop.

How to Decoupage Seashells using Paper Napkins
I shared the tutorial for making this seashell craft on a recent Facebook Live which you can catch here. All of the step by step instructions can be found in the video. If you have any questions at all, please send us a message!
Adding the diamond dust over top of the napkin really gives each of the seashells just the right amount of sparkle!
