DIY COASTAL THEMED DECOR

Hello Bloggers!

Today is going to be a DIY project that literally took me 10 minutes to put together.
This post is going to be simple and to the point! So keep reading...
Here it goes, first take 3 glass vases whichever style you prefer. For me personally I was going for a sleek, simple look so went for vases with no decor or groves etc. I got my vases from a local thrift store called Re-Build Resources. You can donate ANYTHING to them and they will take it and re sell it. I love shopping there for new furniture pieces to diy and love going there for items like these! I picked all three of these vases up for a grand total of 1.00!!

I then went to the beach behind my house and picked up some sand to add to the bottom of my vases. If you don't have a beach near by I would recommend going to your local craft store.

Again stopping by the beach behind my house picked up some sea shells to add on top of the sand. Again, head to your local craft store for sea shells. 

Now, that's were I left my decor and as you can see above that's how they look.
If you want to take it to the next step, go ahead and add any colour candle to the middle of the sand and place the sea shells around the candle. This could make for an awesome center piece. 



The way I style my beachy vases is in the middle of my large picture window. I place a small sail boat that I picked up a Winners against the large middle vase. This gives an extra coastal vibe!

You can also use this idea for any season!! You can switch it up for fall and place leaves, chestnuts, pine cones etc in the bottom and place anywhere!
