A few Sea-Inspired Crafts

Hello beach beauties!!

I hope that you are enjoying your summer so far.

We have been busy here and the weather has been a bit on the PMS side, going from HOT one day to COLD the next!!

It is raining right now and chilly but it looks like the next week is supposed to be beautiful.

Yesterday really wasn't a beach day with scattered showers popping up all over so after doctors appointments we decided to paint on the deck.

I have not receive the shark sheets yet from PB kids so I have not picked out any paint for the furniture, but I tried my hand at another knock off for my sons shark room.

I love these, but at $50 buck a pop I decided that a home-made one might be better at this point.

I started with the Tiger Shark.

So, we got out the paints and went to town.

I had everything so this cost me nothing!

BONUS!

After I drew the shark on, I filled in the background first and then filled in the shark and fish.

I used Sharpies for the writing, I think the next one I will see if I can find paint pens because the only colors that really showed up were the dark colors.

Once again he is happy with his shark.

Well as happy as the cheesy smile says. :)

It didn't turn out too bad but the the fish look like the Gold Fish Crackers!

Also yesterday I finally made my driftwood yacht from a huge piece of driftwood that I picked up last year and a new piece (mast) that we found at the beach the other day.

I used some leftover fabric that was lying around for the sails.

Very simple, very plain.

I like it.

Now I just need to find a spot for my yacht.

Too bad I can't sail away on it.
