I am pretty sure driftwood boats are nothing new (those who live at the sea have been making them for forever)
but with a beach full of driftwood outside my front door, I couldn't resist putting my twist on the idea. Its a fun
spring/summer project perfect for kids or for the kid at heart AND a whimsical way to add a little nautical and beach
inspired decor to your home!
I wanted to use colorful painted paper for my sails. 1. I started by painting my sail with watercolors.
2. I added details with a black pen. 3. Next, I glued a dowel to the back of the sail.
4. After collecting all kinds of driftwood, I selected a piece for my ship. 5. I poked a hole into the wood.
6. Then I used all purpose glue to the hole 7. and then placed the sail into the hole.
The result is a simple and colorful little boat!
I got even more creative by using different shapes for the sails, pattern and even added flags.
can't wait to make these for my new apt :D !

ReplyDeleteWhat an incredibly fun take on the nautical trend. So "you".
ReplyDeleteHow sweet and whimsical!
ReplyDeleteI am loving the driftwood boats - but even more so I am loving the way you have used hangers as art and to show your gorgeous work. Trying to stay focused and not run to IKEA now. Cx
ReplyDeleteCute projects! I love the variety you made. The pennant banner is a fun touch too. And I love the one with the bigger sail, like an old ship.
ReplyDeleteYour boats are simply beautyful. I love the blue ones especially.
ReplyDeleteOh, my!! So darling! I love anything made from nature and you've created something so beautiful with the driftwood! I live far away from the shore, but next time I go on vacation, I'll be bringing driftwood home with me!
ReplyDeleteomg these are breathtaking!!! i'm always collevting those little pieces of driftwood and now i know what to do. but yours are stunning! must try! already pinned (or should i say repinned, found u on pinterest)
ReplyDeleteI (for whatever reason) don't write comments very often but these are absolutely adorable! What fun! And I love how they look mixed in with other decor.

ReplyDeleteI love anything seashore . . . lived along the coast of SC for ten years and hated leaving it. There are shells all over my house, watercolor paintings of the seashore, even the paint colors used inside my house are reminiscent of the seashore. Your artistry with the driftwood and flags is just pure joy to look at! I must have some of these for my house, especially for the summer months, to remind me of the seashore. Thanks for sharing your lovely creations!
ReplyDeleteSuch bright and pretty little things!
ReplyDeleteLOVELOVELOVE!!! :)

ReplyDeleteNext time I make it to the beach. I'm hunting for drftwood. How wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove the boats!! Good thing I brought home driftwood from that beach of yours! Thanks Alisa!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love these! Your sails are so beautiful. We were just on a trip to a beach and I collected shells to then sketch and paint (I'm taking your sketch class). I looked for driftwood but there was none!
