How to Make a DIY Ocean Wall Hanging

Step 1. Gather Supplies

Supplies Needed:

• Plastic Sand Dollars and Starfish

• Twine
• Embroidery Needle 
• Wooden Dowel
• Scissors

Step 2. Lay out the starfish and sand dollars in the positions you'd like for the wall hanging.

Step 3. Tie sections of twine to the wooden dowel rod.

Step 4. Thread felt balls onto the lengths of twine, and hot glue a plastic starfish or sand dollar at the bottom of each section of twine.

Step 5. Tie twine to the dowel, knotting it at each end, to serve as a hanging string for the wall hanging.

Cut any extra twine to clean it all up.

That's it!

Isn't it beautiful!

You could use this same idea and hot glue real seashells to the bottom of the twine strands, instead of plastic sand dollars or starfish.
