Glass
Tinted Glass
Add Sea Glass to your Jars
You can tint glass with Mod Podge and either acrylic paint or food coloring. Dilute your Mod Podge with water and add your coloring. Pour it in your jar and swirl it around so the sides are completely covered. Drain out excess and let dry upside down so it continues to drain. It takes about 24 hrs to dry. Be sure to move them occasionally so excess does not puddle at the opening of your jar.... Drying time can be quicker if you bake them in the oven at a low temperature
Decoupaged Jars
Paint stripes on a glass jar and distress. Decoupage a nautical picture and add jute/twine/rope.
Beach Keepsake Jars
I might have "Borrowed" some sand from the beach. I put it in a glass jar, in this case a empty spaghetti sauce jar). I decoupaged some pics I had taken, along with some clipart I found online. Add some rope and ribbon with a hot glue gun and you have a very inexpensive, personalized keepsake from your vacation.
Ships and Anchors
Nautical Wine Bottle
Add Burlap and rope to a wine bottle
Nautical Denim Pillows
Recycle old jeans into nautical pillows. (Not sure husband realized he was done with them.) Yea I can sew. No pattern but they are all straight lines. I said I can sew I didn't say I was good at it
Sailboat Wall Hanging
This was made with all Dollar Tree items. I stiffened the burlap with diluted Mod Podge and glued it to the back of the sailboat cut out, I had painted black. I glued a small piece of styrofoam to the bottom left hand corner and insert the flowers into the top and sides of it leaving the front edge of the styrofoam bare so I could glue the sand dollar to it to cover. Added twine and thought I was done until I tried to hang it. Yea my boat wanted to capsize so I added the 2nd sand dollar for balance.
