Sand Dollars+Burlap+IKEA Frames=New Artwork

While I was at my beach condo last week, I decided to make some artwork using sand dollars. I pulled out two white frames that I had purchased at IKEA... some burlap that I had in my fabric stash... went to the local 5&10 store to pick up some sand dollars and I was on my way! This is a VERY SIMPLE project and THRIFTY too...it only set me back about $4.00! I was wanting a change in this bathroom and so I kept it SIMPLE and THRIFTY...two of my favorite words!I'm linking to these FUN parties...come by and check them out!

Message In A Bottle

Gotcha...well I guess that this is not a real "message in a bottle", but it could be! Last week at NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAYS, I showed you some bottles that I had found at a local thrift store and my plan for them was to add some seashells to the top of them...you can see them here!Sharlotte@Sharlotte's Southern Reflections showed us at NTT a few weeks ago her "coastal" bottles...I knew when I saw them, that I had to make me some...so I did. I was planning on doing the same process that she did, but being such a thrifty gal...I changed mine up just a little bit. I decided to use some corks that I had bought at Target for the stoppers...I cut out a hole in the top and filled it with hot glue...added a seashell...wrapped some jute around it and WHALA!
I'm linking up to the following parties!
