16 Beach Themed Crafts Ideas

It’s officially summer! So, what better way to celebrate the season than with some really cute beach themed crafts?

Not only are these crafts a lot of fun to make, but they’re also a great way to remind yourself of the beach if you can’t make it there this summer.

These crafts are also really fun for kids to make and they can be used to decorate their rooms, too. So, let’s get crafting!

1. Make a Beach Memory Jar

This is a great way to use sand and shells that you collect on your beach vacation.

You can use a large or a small glass jar and fill it with sand and shells and any other little beachy things you find.

Then you can add a photo from your beach trip and add a little tag with the location and date of your trip.

You can also add a little seashell charm to the jar for a little extra something!

2. Create a Seashell Picture Frame

This is a perfect craft for a beach vacation.

Collect some shells from the beach and make a picture frame out of them.

This is another craft that you can do using a hot glue gun, or you can use a more heavy-duty glue.

You can get a plain picture frame from the dollar store and then glue the shells onto the frame. You can also paint the frame and then glue the shells on.

This is also a great way to display your beach vacation photos.

3. Make a Seashell Necklace

Shells are the most popular beach find.

If you have a collection of shells and you’re not sure what to do with them, make a seashell necklace! You can drill a small hole in the top of the shell and add a jump ring to attach it to a chain, or you can use a seashell as a pendant and hang it from a chain.

There are so many different ways to make a seashell necklace, and you can find a lot of inspiration on Pinterest.

4. Create a Seashell Wind Chime

If you love the sound of the ocean, you’ll love this beach-themed craft.

This seashell wind chime will remind you of the beach every time the wind blows.

You can make this beachy wind chime with just a few supplies and seashells you’ve collected from the beach.

For a more colorful wind chime, you can paint your seashells with acrylic paint. Be sure to use a paint sealer to protect the paint from chipping.

5. Make a Beach-Themed Wreath

If you have a wreath base and a glue gun, the possibilities are endless! You can attach shells, sand dollars, and starfish to your wreath and place a bow on top.

Or, you can attach the shells and starfish to a string and hang them from the top of the wreath.

You can also make a “coral” reef by attaching shells to the wreath in a random pattern.

No matter what you choose, your beach-themed wreath will be the perfect addition to your home.

6. Create a Seashell Centerpiece

If you’ve recently been to the beach, you may have collected a lot of seashells.

Instead of letting them gather dust in a jar, put them to good use by creating a seashell centerpiece.

This is a great way to display your seashell collection and add a beachy vibe to your home decor.

You can use a variety of seashells, or stick to a color scheme to create a more cohesive look.

7. Make a Beach Terrarium

If you love the look of a beach terrarium but don’t want to have to care for live plants, you can still make a beautiful one using sand and seashells.

You can find some examples of beach terrariums on Pinterest, and then use your favorite as inspiration to create a beach terrarium that’s uniquely you.

8. Create a Seashell Garland

This is a simple craft, but it’s a great way to bring the beach to your home decor.

You can use a seashell garland to decorate a mantel, hang from a shelf, or even to decorate a Christmas tree.

You can also use different colors of ribbon and seashells to match your decor.

You can even add a little bit of color to the seashells by painting them with a watercolor effect, or by adding a little bit of glitter.

To make a seashell garland, you’ll need some seashells, a drill, a hot glue gun, and some ribbon.

First, drill a small hole in the top of each seashell.

Then, use your hot glue gun to attach the seashells to the ribbon.

You can add as many or as few seashells as you’d like!

Once you’ve attached all of your seashells, tie a loop in each end of the ribbon. This will make it easy to hang your garland.

9. Make a Seashell Mirror

A seashell mirror is a great way to add some beachy vibes to your home decor.

You can make this mirror with a simple round mirror and a few bags of seashells.

To make this craft, you will need a hot glue gun to attach the shells to the mirror.

Then, you can use a picture hook to hang the mirror on the wall.

10. Create a Seashell Mosaic

It’s always fun to collect seashells while you’re at the beach, but what do you do with them when you get home? You can turn them into a beautiful piece of art with a little creativity.

You can use your seashells to create a mosaic on a picture frame, a mirror, a piece of wood, or even a rock.

All you need is a hot glue gun to secure your shells in place and a little creativity to create a design.
