There are few things that take me to that Summer State of Mind like Sea-Glass.
I love the sand tumbled smooth frosted pieces of glass. (Even if much of it is man-made!)
I use it all over the house to decorate for Summer.
But I thought it would be fun to do a little something else with it…
A Sea-Glass Wreath!
It’s super easy…Here’s what ya need:
*Sea Glass {the flat kind is best-I got mine at Michael’s}
*Floral & Craft Ring {Michael’s for under $1.00 for the small size!}
*Ribbon for wrapping around the ring and for hanging
*Glue Gun
Just wrap the floral ring with ribbon and adhere with hot glue.
Then position your sea glass stacking some on top of the other.
Carefully pick up pieces and hot glue… I glued from the top to the bottom}
I made a larger wreath…
And hung it over the stain glass in the dinning room…these colors are dreamy, I think…
But I like the tiny wreath the best!
~Summer is a state of mind~
And sea-glass is one of the things that takes me there…

I’ve never heard of sea glass. This is beautiful!
I hadn’t heard of sea glass either. It’s very pretty and I love your wreaths.
Beautiful Sea Glass Wreaths. Something beautiful and fun to make and at a reasonable cost too.
I agree, even the man made sea glass has a fairytale quality.
Thanks for sharing.

Ohhhh, I saw this and instantly thought what a great sun catcher for the window. I can just imagine it with the sun streaming through. Such a clever and unique idea. I admit I thought at first you were going to say you brought all of this glass from the beach… ha ha… silly me.

they have been talking about implementing a glass tumbler
at the local recycling depot to reuse the glass ~ can you imagine
the art that could be created?

I am an Arizonan, and rarely get to see the beautiful beach, but sometimes we get the neatest finds at yard sales…I have a bowl of sea glass that sits on the granite above our toilet…I love your wreath idea…the colors are so gentle and soothing. Now, I am out to find more sea glass, whether on a table in someone’s Arizona yard, or near the ocean. Thanks for the wonderful idea!

Beautiful wreaths. I’ve never heard of sea-glass, but it is very pretty.
Thanks for sharing your ideas.
I came to visit from our party at Shabby Chic, and I’m glad I did — your blog is fab! I think your wreath would go great with my bronzed sea stars, too. I’ve been planning to cover an old set of windchimes with sea glass, and you’ve convinced me that I’m on the right track; will see what I can do this weekend….

This is so pretty!! Love it!!! Visiting from Shabby Chic Cottage.
Thank you! Now I know what to do with all of the beach glass we’ve collected through the years. It’s just not fun looking at them in jars. This is much more fun!

Love it!
