A beautiful home decor accent piece for your home! The oyster shell was decoupaged and slightly painted with an abstract, ocean theme and then sealed to protect it. The shells I use are collected, cleaned and dried in the sun right here in the Florida Panhandle. Since no 2 oyster shells are alike, this garland is like no other. The garland can lay on top pf books, displayed in/on a basket, can be wrapped and tied to use as bottle trinkets, or given as a unique handmade gift. Total Garland length: 28" (including handmade hemp tassel) Garland comes in a tied, white gift box with a Kelypso Art label Item # G-93
