Heres a starfish and seashell wreath that loops a whole bunch of beach finds into one ring. A chunky coral starfish anchors the top. A swirly conch sits across from it. A pair of scallop fans tuck in along the sides, a lil sand dollar floats near the base of the ring and bits of coral branch fill the gaps. The middle stays open so you can drop a monogram, a date or a name straight inside.
Eight colour palette is the whole charm. Coral peach on the starfish, sandy beige on the conch, sage seafoam on the scallops, dusty mauve along the smaller shells, soft cream on the sand dollar and a touch of navy on the outline accents. Its like the wreath got pulled together after a slow morning of beachcombing, and ya can almost smell the salt off it. The colours sit gentle, none of them shout.
Last june I sent a 7.5-inch run to a customer doing welcome pillows for her airbnb on the gulf coast. She wanted something coastal but not the cheesy lifeguard-buoy kind, and this one fit because the shells look natural rather than cartoony. People have been buying it since for beach-house shower curtains and guest-room cushion covers too.
Stitch on cream linen, sandy oatmeal canvas or pale chambray and the warm shell tones really sing. Skip patterned fabrics aswell, the eight colour shifts need a calm background to read clean. On a cotton kitchen towel or a linen tote, hoop it firm and that round shell texture pops nicely.
Density runs moderate for a wreath, around 22k stitches on the 7.5-inch run, 10,000 on the smallest hoop. Apply medium cutaway behind on woven cotton, tear-away on sturdy duck cloth. The directional satin on the conch swirl needs underlay so it dont collapse on the curve. Reach me on facebook messenger if a stitch path doubles back.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
