    DIY Rustic Sailboat

    Sailboat made from twigs and scrap fabric.
    I created this sailboat from a tree that came down in a little tornado we had in my backyard (F-0 and nothing more than a few trees toppled, thank God). No tornado required for you to make your own though.

    I made this 5 years ago and it continues to be one of my more popular projects and so EASY to make.

    Seriously, it's VERY quick!

      So many fabulous ideas for summer! I was just showing my husband your little sailboats. I need to make a couple of these for the lake house Airbnb! Adorable!

      I like all your little beach things, maybe because I love ticking! I remember those pillows from when I was little. Who would think that fabric would ever be a thing for decorating?
      What about the little swimming lady picture? Is that from a tutorial or is it store bought? I love that too!

      Happy Summer Solstice!
