Dear Chicago House,
After Sally the Seahorse had her 15 minutes of fame on an episode of "unlivable" on the FYI network a few weeks ago, I was inspired to once again dabble with my stash of lake Michigan driftwood.
This time I have created a driftwood fish
Well actaully that's incorrect, I have made a pair a sweet pair of driftwood fish ... let call them Freddie and Felix.
and they are oh-so-easy to make and make a great decorative accent to any beach or coastal themed room.
You will need
Start laying your driftwood on your fishy shape, it helps if the wood slightly overlaps your shape. Once you are happy with how everything is looking fire up your glue gun and stick away.
I added an eye to each of my fish ..it was a old cork I picked up when collecting my driftwood.
Enjoy!

These are great. How did you get them to hang on the wall?
ReplyDeleteI adore this fish and the sea dragon too. Moreover, I'm charmed with them. The only thing to buy is a glue gun. ;-) It must be an exciting activity to do with kids.
