These sea glass Christmas trees will give your holidays a beach-vacation vibe

Sea glass is a “reverse gem” made by man and refined by nature, rather than vice versa. The pieces can take decades or centuries to form and can be found in an array of colors, many reminiscent of the ocean. If your decorating style has a dash of island or coastal flair, or you just find the smooth segments captivating, why not incorporate sea glass into your holiday decor? Sea glass Christmas trees are unique decorations with a beautifully beachy vibe.

An artist named Kristin Pimentel creates handmade decorative Christmas trees with sea glass and shells. She offers a variety of sizes and styles on her Etsy store, KP Seashell Designs. The smallest, which measures about one foot tall and seven inches wide, is crafted with at least one pound of man-made sea glass in shades of green, seafoam and turquoise. It starts at $345.

Here, she shows off one of her designs on Facebook.
