1. Choose 4 small sea shells you like to decorate the
napkin ring.
2. Center and hot glue 4 small sea shells opposite each
other on the napkin ring.
3. Remove a small white flower from the stem. You want
the center or the stamen of the flower to be intact.
4. Arrange and hot glue a flower in between two of the
sea shells. After you have stuck the stamen of the flower
into the glue, push the petals of the flower down into
the glue. The flower will now be flush with the
surface of the napkin ring and the stamen will be
sticking up.
