DIY like Ariel With These 11 Sea Glass Projects
For collectors and beachcombers alike, sea glass is a prized commodity. It’s super exciting to find that smooth piece of colored glass in the sand, rubbed shiny by the tossing and turning of the surf. And with all the variety of colors, it’s just not right to shut it away in a drawer, or even worse, leave it on the beach. Check out our collection of 11 DIYs that put these colored bits of magic to good use.
1. Sea Glass Mobile: Oh hey, ombre! This gorg sea glass mobile takes a bit of time, but it is well worth the effort. And if you’re hard-pressed for finding enough ombre tones, the faux sea glass from the craft store works (and looks) just as great. If you don’t want to spend the time making this beaut you can buy it on etsy. (via Our Boat House)
