All you need is a hot glue gun and your shells, then you can form flowers like these.
For my pistachio shells craft, This was my inspiration:
DIY: Hanging “Succulent Garden” Made With Pistachio Shells by Addicted 2 Decorating.
Initially I wanted to make the exact same thing but then I changed my mind and thought I would just make the flowers and use them to adorn a wreath.
I made mine different sizes to create interest and give it some flair.
This is the result. I made the wreath out of cardboard covered or wrapped in black yarn. I added a black sateen sash to tie it up.
I actually want the wreath to be much fuller so less of the wreath is seen. I have to buy more pistachios though and save up their shells again. I will add the final, final result when that happens. For now this is it.
