I found a couple of beach terrariums while cruising the web recently and can't remember where I saw them so I decided to make 2 of my own from memory using items I had around the house and some of my own creavtivity. |
 |
I tried to match the scale of the items so that the little theme seems more authentic. Not sure if I accomplished this but I wanted to save money by sticking to what I already own. Beach bonfire anyone??? |
 |
| When my husband and I traveled to Hawaii in May we saw a huge barnacle covered, white, anchor leaning up against a tree on the beach which inspired me to include the anchor in this little beach bonfire scene. |
 |
| I found the green Coca Cola bottle in my miniature collection |
 |
| I picked up the small reclining beach chair at the Christmas Tree shop for less than 2 dollars. |
 |
| The glass dome was purchased at Goodwill for less than $10.00 and the driftwood was found at various beaches in NJ. |
 |
| I currently have them both in my dining room until Fall arrives. |
 |
I made the fence from tall ornamental grass stalks and a hot glue gun. I tried to glue the crack in the wooden base but the glue is so obvious to me. |
 |
| I brought the small bit of coral back from one of the beaches in Hawaii. |
 |
| Here I removed the piece of driftwood....not sure which I like better... |
 |
| I found this beach chair at the Christmas Tree shop for less than a dollar.... |
 |
I am not great with a hot glue gun as I am noticing the dried glue is visible...ooops!!! Also, I will be linking up with Two Birds today for Inspiration Monday so check me later darlings. Have a great Monday...it's sopping wet here in Southern N.J. |
