Welcome to another edition of my nautical decor series! Over the past several weeks, I’ve shared how to decorate with starfish, anchors, rope, and sailboats. And last week, I shared some pretty creative tutorials to make your own faux coral, seashells and driftwood.  Driftwood is today’s focus!

 

Driftwood Decor: 10 Easy DIYs

Driftwood is another big home decor trend you’ve no doubt seen in stores and catalogs. There’s so many ways you can use and display this material. You can make what you see in the stores. And I bet yours will look even better!

Driftwood!

Smaller size driftwood pieces make up this rustic star, which can fit into your displays year-round!

    This is such a fun roundup! Thanks so much for the resource. I really would love to do the heart! Finding the driftwood is the hardest thing. Even though I live on the shore, there isn’t that much driftwood to be found. It’s fun looking, though. 🙂 Thanks for sharing. Linda craftsalamode.com

      So glad you enjoyed this roundup, Linda! Not sure if you saw my previous post in this nautical series I’ve been doing, but it includes a way to actually make your own faux driftwood! (The link is at the end of my post, above.) Hope this helps so that you can make the heart!

Pet Scribbles is where I share my craft tutorials, home and garden projects, and occasional stories about my cats. I can never have enough pretty craft paints to work with, and I love to make things look time-worn with distressing and aging. Gardening is my therapy!
