May 23, by Shellie Wilson. Leave a Comment

As a lover of all things coastal, I have always been drawn to the effortless elegance of the Hamptons style. From the crisp whites and soft pastels to the natural textures and classic patterns, there is something so timeless and serene about this design aesthetic.

Whether you’re lucky enough to live near the beach or you simply want to bring a little bit of the Hamptons into your home, DIY crafts are the perfect way to achieve that coastal vibe without breaking the bank. That’s why I’ve put together this roundup of 50 Hamptons-inspired DIY crafts that you can easily recreate at home. Some of these projects have a more coastal vibe, but using white paint and supplies, really brings them back into a Hamptons styling. So keep that in mind when looking at the tutorial images, you can change them to suit your color Hamptons color scheme.

From nautical rope decor and seashell accessories to painted furniture and DIY wall art, these projects will help you infuse your home with that signature Hamptons charm. You don’t have to be a crafting pro to tackle these DIYs, either. With step-by-step instructions and helpful tips, these projects are perfect for beginners and seasoned crafters alike.

How to make Driftwood

Making driftwood is a great way to add a natural, beachy feel to your home decor without having to scour the beach for hours. With a few simple materials and some patience, you can create your own driftwood pieces that will look just like the real thing. Here’s how:

Materials:

Unfinished wood

Wire brush

Hammer

Nails

Container large enough to fit your wood

Water

Bleach

Hydrogen peroxide

Sunlight or a well-ventilated area

Instructions:

Begin by selecting your unfinished wood. You can use any type of wood, but lighter woods such as pine or poplar will give you the best results. You can also use scraps or old pieces of wood that you have lying around.

Use a wire brush to create texture on the surface of the wood. This will help give it a weathered, driftwood-like appearance.

To create the signature markings on driftwood, use a hammer and nails to create small dents and scratches on the surface of the wood. Be sure to vary the size and shape of the marks to create a more natural look.

Fill a container large enough to fit your wood with a mixture of water and bleach. Use a ratio of 3 parts water to 1 part bleach.

Submerge your wood in the bleach solution and let it soak for 24-48 hours. This will help remove any natural color or stains from the wood and give it a more weathered appearance.

After soaking in the bleach solution, remove the wood and let it dry completely in a well-ventilated area or in sunlight. This may take several days.

Once the wood is dry, mix a solution of equal parts hydrogen peroxide and water in a spray bottle.

Spray the solution onto the wood and let it sit in the sun or a well-ventilated area for a few hours. This will help lighten the wood and give it a more natural, driftwood-like color.

Repeat steps 7 and 8 until you achieve the desired color.

Your DIY driftwood is now ready to use! You can use it for a variety of home decor projects, such as creating a driftwood mirror, a driftwood picture frame, or a driftwood vase.

Creating DIY driftwood is a fun and easy way to add a natural, beachy feel to your home decor. With this tutorial, you can create your own driftwood pieces that will look just like the real thing. Just be sure to take your time and follow the steps carefully for the best results.
