If you live on the beach, I think it’s pretty safe to say that you have your fair share of driftwood! Driftwood is fun to collect, and even more fun to marvel at. Isn’t it amazing how the ocean water and salt can weather down wood like that?

What if I told you that you could make this craft for only $1? I’m not kidding! Head to your local Dollar Tree for a $1 mirror. You can glue several together to create a large mirror, or you can keep your own hand-sized. Hot glue driftwood around the edge of your mirror!
Depending on the size of your driftwood, you might not even have to glue any together at all! Glue your pieces of driftwood together to create a really unique wall hanging. I guarantee none of your neighbors will have one quite like this!
There’s no better craft than one that recycles SOMETHING you’ve been dying to get rid of..but what about a craft that repurposes two of those items? Well that…that is even better! Use your nautically themed fabric scraps to create a “sail” on your old driftwood boat. Don’t forget the flag!
