DIY Nautical Coastal Decor

DIY Nautical Coastal Decor

Today I bring you some fun DIY nautical decor ideas to help you get crafting and busy this summer! These coastal or beach inspired decor pieces are perfect to decorate your home for the summer, or to style a nautical mantel, a tiered-tray or a coastal farmhouse table for any celebration or dinner party you may be hosting this season! As always, I tried as much as possible to use craft supplies I already had at home, and to recycle "trash" into home decor treasure. So I also encourage you to do the same and re-purpose old objects, decor or to use up whatever you have in your craft stash!

Here are some of my zingy ideas below!
