Stunning! Wear these abalone shell jewelry pieces and be the brightest star on the street! ✨
As the saying goes, "Abalone is a treasure all over the body." Many people look at the texture and nutritional value of abalone when they eat it, but little do they know that the abalone shell is also a treasure.
Abalone shell, with an ear shaped appearance, has a spiral pattern on the top of the shell, and nine small holes on the edge of the shell, so sometimes abalone is also called a nine hole snail. Abalone shell is actually a precious medicinal herb called Shixianming. It can be used as medicine by simply washing, drying, crushing, and grinding it. It has the effects of improving vision, clearing heat and liver, nourishing yin and strengthening yang, and is an important traditional Chinese medicine.
In addition to its medicinal value, abalone shells can also be used to make beautiful handicrafts. As it's the weekend, let's prepare the materials and dance beautifully at our fingertips. Now, let me bring you a tutorial on making abalone shell handicrafts~
1 Abalone Shelll Wind Chime
One advantage of using abalone shells as wind chimes is that they have many small holes on their surface, making it easy to tie ropes and knots. Moreover, when the wind blows, the abalone shells collide with each other, producing a pleasant and pleasant sound.
Material Science:
Multiple evenly sized abalone shells (depending on personal preference), paint, paint brush, rope, two short bamboo poles (can be replaced with anything that can tie the rope to the end, such as wood, chopsticks, hangers, etc.), glue, small decorative items that can be threaded with ropes
Method:
1. Wash the abalone shells thoroughly and then air dry them
2. After drying, start painting the surface of the abalone shell with your favorite color, and of course, you can also add some small patterns on top, which will be more beautiful
3. After drying the paint, the abalone shells can be used to thread ropes. About three to five abalone shells form a string, and you can make three to four strings (of course, if you have other ideas, you can also make more or less strings), because there is a row of holes on the abalone shells, and you can tie a knot on the smallest hole. If the hole is too large, you can use glue to stick it together
4. Finally, thread the ropes at the beginning and end of each string of abalone shells through a bamboo pole to secure them, and then wear some Chinese accessories. This completes an abalone shell wind chime. We can also change the arrangement according to our preferences to make our own wind chime~
5. Now, you can hang the wind chime in front of the window or outdoors, and when the wind blows, you can hear the sound of the wind chime.
2 Abalone Shell Drop Glue Ring
The method of making abalone shell dropper ring is similar to that of ordinary dropper jewelry. As long as the materials are prepared sufficiently, the method is very simple, and the ring made is noble, elegant, simple and generous
Material Science:
Ring holder, abalone shell, Ab glue, dropper glue
Method:
1. The same principle applies: first, use an old toothbrush and detergent to clean the abalone shell, then air dry it for later use
2. DIY the material for crystal dropper, mix it in the appropriate proportion, and fill it into the ring holder
3. Crush the abalone shell and choose beautiful and attractive pieces to fill into our dropper ring surface
4. Once the glue is completely solidified, a beautiful DIY crystal ring is completed
3 Abalone Shell Pendant
With the ring, we certainly can't forget the beautiful abalone shell pendant with ocean style. Wearing it not only brings the beauty and charm of nature, but also reveals a mysterious atmosphere~
Material Science:
Abalone shell, electric drill, diamond grinding head, sandpaper, baby oil, favorite beads, beautiful rope, wool felt
Method:
1. Use a diamond grinding head to lightly polish the surface of the abalone shell until the pearl layer is exposed. It is best to follow the pattern on the surface of the abalone shell
2. Use sandpaper to finely polish, and make sure to clean all the dirt on the surface. After sanding, use wool felt to polish it for a while
3. Next, place the ground abalone shell in a well ventilated area and let it dry in the shade. During the drying process, you can apply a little baby oil to the surface of the shell, which will make it more shiny and remove the fishy smell from the shell
4. Finally, it depends on your own preferences. Enjoy decorating abalone shells and making your favorite pendants
