Bloggers Craft -Project Ideas with Seashells, Sea Glass, Rocks, Burlap and more

I gathered some fun and creative craft project ideas from around the blogsphere..., and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

"I just can't help myself! I made another seashell garland..." Kimba's words from a Soft Place to Land..., and what a beautiful garland it is!

So pretty. Handmade decorative lights by Carol from Beautiful Details...

... Layla from The Lettered Cottage made this elegant seashell lamp from an old 1950's lamp that she spray painted white, then glued on shells that she picked up in Pensacola, and from Michaels...

... Linda from Surroundings loves to decoupage, "there's something peaceful about cutting out little bits of paper and gluing them on to something else!" And she created this wonderful box from a white wooden shadow box that was meant to be hung on the wall...

... Amanda from The Eck Life is crazy about burlap and created this fun starfish pillow..., discovered at Southern Hospitality...

... the kid in me just wants to cuddle with these great fabric beach balls, coming from The Purl Bee, the blog of Purl, a shop devoted to beautiful materials and tools for knitting, sewing, quilting, and other crafts...

... Rachel from One Pretty Thing hot glues sea glass onto canvas..., and the result; a lovely artful heart...

... Annie from Firefly Hill Style does so many wonderful things with seashells..., check out This Post too where she adorns an old wire basket with shells and glues sand dollars onto burlap...

... this artistic beach rock composition is glued together on canvas by Simone from Beach Vintage..., so creative...

... and Cindy from My Romantic Home shows us how she made this stunning seashell wreath...

... Karla from It's the Little Things that make a House a Home has a crafty way of hanging a starfish and I love it...

... and Chris from Just Beachy gives us the instructions on how to wrap and glue the twine step by step...

... Kim from Forever Wherever has made beautiful candles with things she has around the house..., jars, old candle tins, and shells...

... and she also gives us a Seashell Frame tutorial...

... and lastly, a non blogger, but I just wanted to show you this..., Sea Glass Designs drills holes through nice pieces of seaglass for necklaces..., but you could hang a few of these beauties around the house! Click here to learn how to drill the holes (in a zen state of mind).

Thanks for including my decoupage box! All these ideas are great - I've been thinking about doing a seashell mirror or something similar and this might just be the insiration I needed! I love the garland as well...

Kimba said...

Thanks for linking to my garland! I completely forgot about that project. I need to go dig it out of a box and hang it up for summer.

I love your site, by the way.

awesome. I am feeling crafty and nesty with the new place . I love the wreath but I think I will start with something smaller. I do love Beach Vintage's project, also nice and simple but with wow results.

Thanks for putting all of this together.
