Driftwood craft ideas – make driftwood decorations

Driftwood craft ideas and how to make driftwood decorations

This month we head to the Gower Peninsula in Wales to join Tricia Hodge from Gower Craft Parties and driftwood artist Jane Haines. It’s for a creative workshop on how to make driftwood decorations from locally sourced driftwood found on the Gower’s stunning beaches.

On a sunny Saturday afternoon in October I found myself heading to a cafe just outside Mumbles on the Gower Peninsula in Wales. The Junction Cafe is a bustling coffee shop overlooking the vast expanse of Swansea Bay.

I was excited to learn how to make driftwood decorations under the expert guidance of local artist Jane Haines.

The cafe was full of people enjoying a late lunch as I headed upstairs to a gallery area. The long table was filled with women and children excitedly examining pieces of driftwood, buttons, shells, ribbons and rope.

Driftwood craft idea: making a driftwood heart

As I took my place at the table I found two wooden heart blanks, PVA glue and a painted wooden fish. This was clearly going to be an interesting afternoon!

Wooden heart blanks

On the table were hundreds of pieces of driftwood of all shapes and sizes, bleached white by the sun. Jane explained that the best time of year to find driftwood is in the Autumn after a storm. We also learned that the Welsh word for driftwood is ‘broc’.

I started adding small pieces of driftwood around the edges of the heart, building it up into layers.

Before long the base was covered and it was time to add some embellishment. With so many decorative elements on offer, it was tempting to go overboard. In the end I decided to keep it natural with some shells and coral.

I loved that everyone’s designs were so different, with each bringing their own individuality to their work.

With our first driftwood project completed, it was time for a well earned cup of coffee and a slice of cake.

Driftwood craft idea number 2: How to make a hanging driftwood garland

Jane explained that we could either space the embellishments out along a piece of string, or pack them close together for a more solid look.

how to make a driftwood garland

I decided to combine small pieces of driftwood with sea shells, tied at intervals.

At the bottom was the wooden fish I had been given, which helped to add some weight to the garland. At the top I used a large rustic piece of driftwood with the bark still on as a hanger.

My driftwood bird

With our two main projects completed, some people made wall art by sticking pieces of driftwood onto canvas. Others created freehand sculptures using a hot glue gun to stick the driftwood pieces together. I had found a piece of driftwood that looked a bit like a bird’s head, so I decided to have a go at making a bird sculpture. What do you think?

Beachcombing for treasure

As the sun started to set, it was time for the workshop to draw to a close. The other students headed home whilst I joined my family. We drove to nearby Port Eynon Beach where we ended the day beachcombing. My boys had a fantastic time searching for driftwood, sea glass, shells and using their metal detector to discover buried treasure. Needless to say they slept like logs that night!

port eynon beach

The Gower Peninsula is a beautiful part of the world with award-winning beaches and plenty to entertain the children. We drove up from London on the Friday night, attended the workshop on Saturday afternoon, before returning home on Sunday evening. This left plenty of time for exploring the area, enjoying some delicious local food, and really felt like a much longer holiday than just a weekend.

The Driftwood Decorations workshop is just one of the many creative courses offered by Tricia Hodge of Gower Craft Parties. Others include glass mosaic, handmade soap, cupcake decorating, sewing, fascinators and wedding crafts.

The workshops are designed to be fun and relaxing, and make the perfect break for mums and daughters, hen parties or other special occasions. Tricia has many years of event organising experience behind her, so she can offer plenty of advice for the perfect celebration.

MORE INSPIRATION

Love… Kirsty Elson

Back home, I’ve been browsing for some more driftwood projects to try and  have fallen in love with Kirsty Elson’s workon Etsy. Based in Cornwall, she creates the most beautiful driftwood buildings and houses. I am definitely going to have a go at creating something inspired by her work.

Here’s a video to give you a taste of Kirsty’s work:

Kirsty Elson Designs from Studio Wallop on Vimeo.

Here are some of the pieces of work by Kirsty that I particularly love. I am going to have to keep an eye on her etsy shop to snap up one of her originals. Pieces always sell out fast, so it’s a good idea to keep checking if you’re hoping to own one too.

One of the joyful things about this time of year f One of the joyful things about this time of year for me is making plans for next spring and summer in my flower cutting garden. After two years of growing cut flowers, I’m ready for some fresh ideas and to raise my game a little more. I would like to fill some gaps in shape and colour and to extend the flowering season in particular. I’d also like to start drying and preserving my flowers... so I am thrilled that Kirsten of @henthorn_farm_flowers has shared a beautiful glimpse into her seasonal and sustainable flowery world as well as lots of fantastic expert tips and ideas over on the blog - the link is in my bio. I hope you find some inspiration too. Kirsten lives in a very beautiful part of the world - the Ribble Valley in Lancashire. It’s an area very close to my heart as I grew up not far away. Loved spending a little virtual time there again, thanks to Kirsten - and I am yearning to go back in person one day soon and breathe it all in again.
To be honest, I’m still clinging on to the last To be honest, I’m still clinging on to the last moments of Summer. I do always eventually embrace Autumn but, this year in particular, I’m wanting to hold on for as long as possible to the quiet bliss of the last few months. 
I do really worry about what lies ahead for us all, but spending time outdoors, connecting, really up close, to what’s going on in the garden definitely helps. I still have roses, sweet peas, snapdragons, zinnias, asters and LOTS of dahlias blooming so there are always jars and jugs of flowers on every available surface. Rose geranium leaves have been a revelation for adding a fragrant green frilliness - and now I’m full of love for abelia. 
This beautiful photo is by @gandgorgeousflowers and captures the between-seasons beauty in the flower garden right now. I am inspired to create something similar as I have many of the same colours. 
I do realise that it’s silly (and utterly pointless 😂) to resist Autumn as it’s actually one of the most beautiful times of year. As soon as the leaves really turn, and everywhere starts to smell like Autumn, I’m sure I’ll be fully on board. 
With that in mind, I’ve shared lots of inspiring Autumn Flowers ideas over on the blog (link in my bio) from some of my favourite flower creatives including @gandgorgeousflowers @simplybyarrangement @therealflowerco @wildbunchflowers @floribundaroseflorists @thesussexflowerschool @electricdaisyflowerfarm 

Hope you enjoy - and find a little bit of creative inspiration too. X
