When I was about thirteen years old my Mom and Dad took my siblings and I to Glass Beach, California. I have fond memories of an entire day spent searching for stunning sea glass. I came “home” to the hotel with a grocery sack full of sea glass that I was eager to bring back to my real home.
Believe it or not, I actually have that very sea glass STILL stashed away (twenty years later!) and I’m ready to finally MAKE something with it!
Honestly, I fell out of love with my dining room table the Christmas of 2013 when my son threw up his food ALL over the table. Talk about an appetite ruiner! I want to fall in love with my table again, and I know I can do it with this project from Martha Stewart.

This wouldn’t be a DIY home decor post without SOME kind of mason jar craft! Glue seaglass pieces on the outside of a mason jar and outfit it with a burlap bow for easy coastal home decor. I certainly think that a tea light would look gorgeous illuminating a candle holder like this!
