Coconut Shell Craft

The process of creating coconut shell crafts begins with selecting mature, discarded coconut shells. These shells are cleaned thoroughly, then cut and shaped using hand tools or small machines, depending on the design. Once shaped, the surface is sanded to remove roughness and reveal the natural grain. Artisans may carve decorative patterns or add inlays for detail. The shells are then polished with natural oils or wax to enhance their shine and durability. Finally, the crafted pieces ranging from bowls and spoons to jewelry and ornaments are assembled, sometimes combined with other natural materials like wood or coir, to complete the design. Each item reflects eco-friendly artistry, combining sustainability with traditional craftsmanship.
