Coastal Crafts : : Decorative Seaside Projects to Inspire Your Inner Beachcomber

Look what just arrived from Amazon! Coastal Crafts! 

I'm so excited to share this book with you! 

I feel like I gave birth to this book years ago ... seriously, it feels like a lifetime ago that I was stitching fish garland and painting seashells! 

Here's a few fun facts about this book ... First, it's a multi craft book ... so it's not just sewing, or gluing or painting ... it's all crafty things in one book! And second, I intentionally created every project from supplies and materials that can be purchased at your local craft store like Michael's or Joann's! How fun it that? 

Yup, I painted shells all nice and white to make this heart shaped hearth wreath ...

 

These candlesticks were one of the first projects I created for the book and I think they may be my favorite too! 

 

And I covered these chuncky letters with glue to adorn my front porch! 

Here are just a handful of other projects offered in the book to really get you into that beachy, coastal mood ... you know, cause summer is here, right, and who doesn't like a little coastal craftiness in there home during the warmer summer months?

LOVE this lampshade covered with the antique nautical map! LOVE!

And ... Nautical flag garland anyone? Yes, PLEASE!

And of course ... Linen pillows with huge stenciled shells are the perfect coastal touch for any window seat with a garden or beach view!

Oh, and a little embroidery on a few dishtowels make just the perfect hostess gift! 

Or how about a little plaster and sand memorabilia!

Ok, so ... what are you waiting for ... seriously ... grab your copy of Coastal Crafts here on Amazon or anywhere craft books are sold, and get your craftiness on! Also, check out this nice post that Lark Crafts has up on their site today! 

Enjoy!
