Beachy Crafts For You To Make, All Summer Long!
Ahh, yes, there’s nothing in the world, quite like it. The smell of suntan lotion, the soft sand under your feet, and the warm sunshine on your skin. This is the season of relaxing on the beach, sipping a cool drink, and spending time with friends and family as you enjoy the extraordinary weather.
Whether you and the family regularly plan a beach day, or if you’ve got a great vacation coming up sometime soon, your trips to the beach will be the perfect relaxing spot for you this season.
1.WREATH
Grab those found shells and other beachy objects, a hot glue gun, and a wreath and get going!

4.USE THEM AS FILLERS
Take your beach finds and add them into a clear lamp base, a bowl, or in a vase for a natural work of art that holds some great memories! Put a candle in the middle of a try or bowl and arrange seashells and sea glass around it for a lovely centerpiece of accent in your home’s decor.
Get a fillable, glass lamp bases online or check out your local stores, as they’re very ‘in' right now! These can be changed out to fit the season, so think about leaves or pinecones in the fall and holly, pine, or ornaments in the winter!
Target has some great options!:

5.WIND CHIMES
Gather your goods from your beach trip and turn them into a usable work of art: a wiudchime! There are tons of variations for these, making them large or small, colorful or neutral, and they make a wonderful gift!

6.JEWELRY
As shells are tumbles around in the ocean, they wear down over time. Many times you’ll find some with holes in them and these make the PERFECT pieces for a simple necklace or bracelet, as you can just thread a chain through them! Paint them a solid color for a polished piece or just leave them raw for natural look.

Create a gorgeous serving tray, a wooden initial, stepping stones, photo frames, and more wit the easy-to-do and 'fun for the kids to help with’ process of creating a mosaic artwork!

9..PHOTO FRAME
Everything from shells, rocks, seagrass, and even sand can be added to a picture frame or around the frame of a mirror for a statement piece your home will LOVE! Arrange your beach finds onto the frame and use a strong glue like ‘E6000’ to secure the shells and other items. Remember there are always great things to find at your local craft store if you need more shells or glass (and even fancy things like sand dollars and starfish) to add onto your frame!
10.WREATH
Start with a wreath form and all of the goods you found at the beach then arrange them how you like to make a beautiful wreath for your door! You can check out your local craft store or order on sites like Amazon if you’re in need of more items to fill ing the spaces on your large wreath. Think about the fancier items that are hard to find at the beach like sand dolllars and starfish and make it your own, special combination of things!
Glue onto a wreath (add net, star fish, a sign, etc)
