DIY Driftwood Sailboat

This little drift wood sailboat is packed with interesting texture and potential sentimental value.

You could make a whole fleet of them for perfect little table centerpieces.  Or just make one as a gift for someone with a beach house or a new baby boy.

Speaking a babies, what about a driftwood sailboat mobile?!!  How cute would that be?  I linked a couple below in the Shop This Look section.

I first got the idea of Pinterest (but of course!) and then later saw this tutorial from White Gun Powder.

DIY Driftwood Sailboats

I knew I had to try my own!

We collected our driftwood during a recent trip to my parents’ place on the beach and the handkerchiefs are from my grandma.

As a side note, I am a firm believer in using and enjoying antiques, even it means altering them for today’s uses.

I invited my daughter to join us as our guest for this post and she will show you step by step how to make a driftwood sailboat in the video above.
