I know we are only a few days into Spring but I just can't help but think about Summer. When I think of Summer my minds goes immediately to the Beach...
I have always dreamed of owning and decorating a beach house and am drawn to beachy decor but for now I will just have to decorate my own little cape with bits of it. Here is an inexpensive project to bring that feeling into my home (and yours). Enjoy!
Here are the supplies you need...
 |
| ROPE |
 | |||
| SPAY GLUE (or any glue that will hold rope) |
 |
| GLASS JAR (cleaned of course) |
 |
| PRIMER AND SPRAY PAINT (Almond/Satin) |
Directions:
- After cleaning and drying the glass jar, spray with the adhesive and wrap rope from bottom up.
- Cut the ends at an angle so it will blend into the top and bottom of the resting rope.
- Spray on primer. It's okay to miss a spot or too, doesn't need to be completely covered in primer.
- Very lightly spray the Almond Satin spray paint. Again, try NOT to cover the entire surface. Just a mist all over should do it.
- The rope might loosen where the end is connected so if this happens pull out the old glue gun and zap the areas that are loose.
- Glue on a star fish or shell or whatever makes you think of the beach.
