The love of oceanside events has caused a love of all things beach related. This includes Christmas beach decor. Not only can such themes be incorporated with traditional ones, but could be used alone. This includes things like using seashells, fish net, starfish, crabs, and other things used to decorate for the holidays.
The star on the top of a tree could be replaced with a starfish. The starfish might even be decorated with glitter in such colors as gold or silver, or maybe red or green. This adds sparkle to the whole thing. Streamers could be strung down the side of the tree from the starfish on top. Seashells and other beach-themed items could be pierced with a small drill bit and ribbon strung from them for hanging. Fishing line is an alternative if an invisible hanger is desired.
Shapes might be cut from driftwood or rustic pieces of wood, painted or stained, and short holiday expressions painted on them. These are great for door hangers or to replace a wreath. The wreath can also be decorated with seashells, pieces of coral, driftwood, and a Santa made from wood and painted as if surfing.
Another way to incorporate beach themed Christmas decorations might be to use attractive table centerpieces designed with a tray of white sand, with seashells partially embedded in it. Weave short pieces of fish net, or small decorative anchors, all threaded with ribbons in Christmas colors to make it look more holiday-like. Adding glittery or shiny glass ornaments to the arrangement can give the illusion of bubbles in the sea.
Place cards decorated with a combination of holiday themes and seashells can make for a very festive look, but be reminiscent of the seaside as well. Tree skirts and cards decorated with flip flops, surf boards, a variety of seashells, and different varieties of colorful coral or seaweed make attractive decorations. These should be either decoupaged or appliqued, depending on the materials used.
One attractive ornament that appears very profession is made using a clear glass ball ornament, confetti in red or green, small confetti shapes, and small pieces of shells, seaweed, or coral. First put the confetti into the ball, after removing the top, add other ornamental items such as coral or shells. After all desired items are in the ornament, use a funnel and pour a small amount of sand into the bottom of it.
A balloon that is meant as balloon wrap can be used, allowing for larger items and the depiction of a theme. The machines used to fill these can be quite expensive, but can also be rented for a one-time use. You can use larger items to decorate and can more carefully place them. They items can even be glued if necessary.
