Lady uses pistachio shells and hot glue gun to make gorgeous décor for front door

Pistachio lovers, rejoice! There's finally something useful to do with all those leftover shells. Instead of tossing them in the rubbish or your compost pile, use these tiny shells to create extraordinarily pretty décor.
If you thought cracking open those nuts kept your hands busy, these projects are sure to prove otherwise. But, if you're looking for a project that's fun, creative and impressively unique — look no farther. So get a head start and crack open some nuts while you check out these three DIY projects.

1. Pistachio shell flower wreath
What you'll love about this project is that the materials are super easy to get your hands on.
And when it's all finished, your guests are going to have no idea the stunning wreath you've created was from old pistachio shells. This K's Craft Shack wreath looks like something out of a design magazine or a fancy boutique.
The shells emulate the look of succulents, which are trending big now but are quite pricey — so this project is an excellent alternative for getting a high-end look while saving a few bucks.
2. DIY hanging 'succulent garden'
As mentioned before, succulents are all the rage these days. But even the fake plastic ones can get be expensive. We love this Addicted 2 Decorating project because the pistachio shells look amazingly lifelike — and the "garden" frame they're hanging in only adds to the organic feel.
3. Pistachio shell 'flowers'
This Clumsy Crafter project is just too cute! The pistachio leaf flowers look like dahlias, especially because they're painted with those bright, saturated colors. These would be charming to add to a boring old picture frame, a wreath or even placed at the base of a candle holder.
