DOLLAR DESIGNS: Seashore Centerpiece

The vase and sand came from the Dollar Tree store, shells were free since I collected them from the seashore.  The branch was a found object and the starfish shape was created using a dollar stamp from Michael's.

Directions:  To assemble the centerpiece, start by placing the branch in the vase.  Hold it in the center while you add the seashells.  Then, still holding the branch, add the sand.  Now you can decorate with any kind of ornaments.
