Hey there…so glad that you are visiting us today and hope that your week is off to a great start. Jennifer and I have each been busy bees in our homes cleaning, purging, decorating and creating. We have a few projects to show you in the coming weeks.

This past weekend was my birthday and I was excited to celebrate for three days. Yes, I know I’m spoiled but it was alot of fun. We get to do it all over again this weekend as it is Jennifer’s birthday! Yes, we are that close – even our birthdays are close together 🙂

Lately I have been dreaming of days spent on the beach. I feel the need for the sunshine on my face, the sand between my toes and a special bev with a tiny umbrella in my hand. Luckily for me, my dream is coming true and in a few short weeks we will be visiting our best friends in their new beach condo.

Which brings me to today’s project. Because I was feeling “beachy” and because I wanted to create a meaningful gift to give my friend I came up with this idea. I love craft projects, especially when they are quick and easy and this is just that!

A few months ago I purchased several burlap canvasses at the craft store. They were very inexpensive as they were on sale and sold in sets – two canvasses were only $4.00. I knew exactly what I wanted to create. My friend and I have been fortunate to travel together and share meaningful trips. I decided to incorporate a couple of my beach-found items onto the canvas art.

Here’s what you will need to make this DIY Burlap Canvas Beach Art:

• Burlap canvas – I used 8×10
• Jute rope
• Hot glue
• Pen or pencil
• Anything else that you might want to glue onto your art piece. I chose to add sea glass and shells.

Here is the exact jute that I used…purchased with a 40% off coupon 🙂

Using a pen I wrote out the word “Beach” onto the canvas…

… I then traced the letters with a hot glue. I basically glued half of a letter at a time.

I love the 3-D effect of the raised rope lettering.

After all of the lettering was complete, I laid out the shells and sea glass for placement before gluing.

I’m very happy with this art piece…it looks so cute on my shelf – my friend may not ever receive it 🙂

These are some of my ocean treasures that I have collected over the years. I love this little bottle…it was covered with barnacles that I managed to scrape off. The aqua glass became frosted from rolling and crashing through the ocean against the sand. I’m amazed that the bottle never broke.

Most of my sea glass collection was collected on one trip from one beach…

The corks were given to me years ago by a fisherman that deemed them “worthless” and he thought I was crazy for wanting them 🙂

This project took just 10 minutes – beginning to end. Like I said, quick and easy!

Now, I’m off to create something else beach inspired! I hope that you try to make you own beach art. Have a great day and see you back here tomorrow!
