Many of us have already come back from our beach holidays and are already missing the beaches and coasts we’d been to. If you wanna bring a beach or coastal feel to your home, there’s nothing easier than rocking some sea shells in your home decor. What to make of them to bring beach home? Artworks, wreaths, planters, accessories – everything that comes to your mind! Here are some DIYs.
Wreaths
This gorgeous artwork or wreath will bring a relaxed beach feel to your space at once. The piece is made of wooden planks and there’s a sea shell wreath attached. The sea shells are attached to a grapevine wreath and then the whole piece is attached to the wood. The final result is rather rustic and beach-like at the same time, ideal for a coastal farmhouse.
