How to Make Beach Decor at Home
You don’t have to live near the seaside to create your own beach-themed decorations. You can use items from your local beaches, such as Sisal rope, seashells, and old wooden spools. Just follow these tips to create your own beach-inspired decor. And don’t worry if you don’t have a beach house or a vacation home. These decor ideas can be used anywhere, from your living room to your bedroom.
Seashells
Summertime is here, and that means many of us will be taking beach vacations. If you don’t live near the beach, however, you can still use seashells for DIY decor projects. Here are a few of the ideas you can try. You can use seashells to create a hurricane or shadow box for a beautiful centerpiece. Place them on a table by the beach or beside your tub to add some instant beach decor.
Sand
Succulents, driftwood, seashells, and a sand dollar planter are inexpensive ways to add coastal decor to your home. You can also paint driftwood in a coastal hue and attach seashells or rope around the top for a hanging arrangement. If you are on a budget, consider making your own coastal decor. This method is surprisingly inexpensive, especially when compared to purchasing commercial products.
Sisal rope
The beach is a great place to upcycle your furniture. You can make your own sisal rope beach decor by wrapping it around a lampshade. This easy project can be accomplished with little more than sisal rope and a glue gun. You can even dye the rope to add a little more color to your home. Here are some great ideas for sisal rope decorating. The tutorial also includes a diagram for lanyard knots.
Old wooden spools
Old wooden spools can be used for many purposes. These reclaimed pieces are perfect for crafts and art projects. Use them to create jewelry boxes, coasters, place settings, and much more. Here are some ideas for how you can use these reclaimed pieces. You may even want to try taking pictures of them so that you can share them with friends. These can also be used as a centerpiece in a themed nursery.
Candle holder
Adding a coastal summer feel to any room is easy with a candle holder in the shape of a shell or sand dollar. If you’ve been on a beach vacation, you can even use shells that you collected and display them in a candle holder. The remembrance of your holiday is sure to be a wonderful reminder of the time you had on the beach! If you can’t find a candle holder in this style, check out some of the following options.
