Shell Santa



Getting ready for a beachy Christmas!

While cleaning out some boxes I found a cute Santa ornament of my mom's.  I immediately thought it would be a great addition to a beachy Christmas. Here is my finished sugar one next to the ornament.



For this one I used a Turritella type shell.  Any size will work.

I used ivory AmeriColor that was diluted with everclear (or clear alcohol of choice).  Paint in the face area.


Use a black food coloring pen to add eyes.



Use a red food coloring pen to add a mouth. 



Paint on a red hat. 


Then use some royal icing to pipe on the hat brim and mustache. 



Last use some super pearl to cover the rest of the shell.
