My kids and I are lucky enough to be spending a few days at the Jersey shore this week with my aunt, my cousin and my cousin's girls. We really appreciate being invited to share their beach house so I wanted to bring a nice hostess gift to thank them. Of course I tried to be a bit more creative than a bottle of wine! Here's what I came up with.
Michael's seasonal "trinket trays" turned into drink coasters. I loved the nautical motifs! These trays are available in the dollar section. I just added adhesive felt circles so they won't scratch the furniture. To finish I tied the stack of coasters with twine and a sand dollar.
Elegant (and easy) silver star fish frame. I simply hot glued a piece of drop cloth to the frame matting and then glued the star fish to the drop cloth. Reassemble the frame for instant art.
Add in two colorful beach towels and put it all in a basket for the perfect beach house hostess gift!
Thanks for visiting!
