Drift Wood Mobile

One of my favourite things to do while at the beach is to look for shells, sea glass or driftwood. With the driftwood I had collected I thought I would make a mobile.

I pre-drilled all the holes.


Make sure you use a board, so you don't drill into your table.


 I used fishing line for mine as its strong and I want to hang it outside, and I thought string would rot.


I like the way it turned out, it doesn't have a space its just the way it got caught on the washing line as I tried to get a photo.



It reminds me of days at the beach. what do you think?

    I love it - I have a bunch of driftwood that I've been wondering what to do - how did you get the knots to stay tied with the fishing line? (Can you tell I don't fish?)

      I just tied it off and loped it over, I just tied the first and last one off.

    Really beautiful - did it take you long to make? I would have fun collecting the wood with my kiddos over time :)

    It's lovely- I love beach finds too, but have never been brave enough to make one- but I might now just be inspired- Not that I'll probabaly find any driftwood though!!

    Walking the beach and picking up treasures is a favorite of mine too! I can safely say though that I have never made something as lovely as this with my finds! In fact I have seen these in seaside boutiques
