So after I researched how to print my own decoupage tissue paper at home ( last post here ), YouTube showed me this video so I watched it too. She said that some of these hand crafted decoupaged oyster and scallop shells with gold gilding are going for $40 at sales, yet they aren't that expensive or time consuming to create. Here is an associate link to Amazon for large scallop shells for crafts. https://amzn.to/44MAnIk Some oyster shells showed up on that search. Another idea... creating smaller versions of these for Christmas tree ornaments. That would be lovely. The affiliate link may help me earn a small commission if you decide to purchase anything, but there is no additional cost for you.
