A Seaside Home

Last but not least of my DIY series is crafting with Sea Glass!  I have a love for sea glass and become so lost in time while looking for it that I find myself walking miles along the shore.

 My family is planning a trip to Fort Braggs, CA next month. Fort Braggs is also known as 'Glass Beach'.  The sea glass along Fort Braggs beach is created from trash dumped over the edge of a cliff on the oceans edge years ago.  
Mother nature works her magic, turning our trash into treasure.

Projects Gluing Sea Glass 

Through my research on crafting with sea glass I found that most crafters use an adhesive called 'E6000' when gluing their sea glass to various mediums; wood, glass, etc... It is supposed to allow the natural beauty of the glass to shine through without causing it to loose its lustrous.

Combining your seashell treasures with sea glass creates these beautiful frames to display those seaside photos.

               

There are so many beautiful DIY projects using sea glass that it was difficult to choose a few to share with you.  I hope you have enjoyed this DIY blog series.
