Best DIY Beach Decor Ideas for the Summer

We’re joining with fellow coastal bloggers to bring you some of the best summer beach decor and DIY ideas on the web. These ideas are a great way to bring a little beach into your home, year-round.

Over a dozen fabulous summer coastal decor ideas

DIY Beach Decor Ideas

Although we don’t necessarily consider ourselves a coastal decorating blog, many of our projects here on Sustain My Craft Habit tend to be inspired by the beach. The shores of Lake Huron, Ontario, where we spend much of our free time, are a constant source of ideas and nature-made supplies. In fact, we have a whole section of our blog dedicated to beach-themed decorating ideas!

So when our friend Wendi from H2OBungalow invited coastal bloggers to share some of their favourite summer DIY and beach decor ideas, we were happy to join in. Wendi shares our love of sand and water, DIY, budget-friendly decorating and upcycling.

Be sure to hop over and visit her beautiful blog for plenty of breezy ideas such as this lovely coastal rope handled crab serving tray:

Hi Kathy. Have you looked on Etsy.com? There are a number of people selling driftwood. You could also check Amazon - sometimes there are independent sellers on there as well.
