Sand Dollar Garland
10:23:00 PM
Pottery Barn had a beautiful sand dollar garland
hanging over one of their headboards.
Here is how I made my own version...
I started with some starfish and sand dollars from
They are not real but you can
not tell, even close up!
I began by tying them onto a length of waxed twine.
When I got them all on the length of twine...
I added coral between each piece...
Then I hung the garland below my fireplace mantel.
I think mine came out just as good as theirs!
I Love Summer!
And when I'm finished with it...
I'm going to hang it over the science table in my classroom!

I love this idea. There is nothing so beautiful as a perfect sand dollar. I wish I lived near the beach so I could pull off beach themed decorations. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteOK, that is gorgeous! We'll be hitting the waters this weekend and I'll get my son to find me some sand dollars so I can make this too - thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice accent piece. I'm kicking myself for not remembering to grab a basket full of sand dollars I saw at an estate sale. I got distracted with my other finds, and forgot to ask about them.
ReplyDeleteSusan, your summer beachy garland is fantastic! I think our class room needs a garland too.
ReplyDeleteVery cute, love it!

ReplyDeleteLovely! We had a trip to the beach earlier this month and I found a little bit of a sand dollar (a relatively whole bit).
ReplyDeleteThis is the second time today 've heard of something awesome from this Christmas Tree place. I must find one!
I made a felt sand dollar garland earlier this summer, but I really like the au natural look! I may have to do this for my boyfriend's boat/beach themed office!
