Paint & Decoupage: Oyster Shell Ornaments

About this event

A Portland Women’s Social Circle x Portland Craft Circle Event

Looking for a fun way to get into the holiday spirit, try something creative, and meet a few new women along the way? Join us for an easy evening as we create our own custom oyster shell holiday ornaments! 🦪✨ We’re teaming up with Cleo and Lindsay of Portland Craft Circle for a hands-on workshop where you’ll transform three beautiful oyster shells into unique holiday decorations using decoupage, your choice of designs, and a little gold detail to make them extra special.

Whether you’re making a thoughtful handmade gift, adding a personal touch to a present, or creating something beautiful for your own tree , these coastal-inspired ornaments are such a fun way to celebrate the season.

No art experience needed!

Just come ready to have fun, get creative, and enjoy an evening with other women.

🎨 What’s Included

✅ (3) oyster shell ornaments, approximately 4–5 inches long each

✅ Over a dozen decoupage designs to choose from to customize your ornaments

✅ Gold paint to elevate the trim. Option to keep your shells natural

✅ All crafting supplies, including pre-drilled holes and hanging string for your finished ornaments

✅ Expert art guidance and creative tips from Cleo and Lindsay of Portland Craft Circle

🍷 A relaxed, festive atmosphere with plenty of opportunities to get to know other like-minded women!

✨ Make Something Beautiful, Meet Someone New

Every ornament will be a little different, and that’s part of the fun! You’ll leave with three handmade keepsakes that are ready to hang, gift, or add to your holiday wrapping.

And the best part? You don’t need to bring a friend to enjoy yourself.

Many women come to PWSC events on their own, and having a creative project to work on makes it easy to start conversations naturally. Sometimes all it takes is sitting down at the same table, sharing a few laughs, and discovering you have more in common than you thought.
