I’m a mountains girl. I love seeing mountains on the horizon, the crisp mountain air, I even like hiking up in the mountains. I am not as big of a fan of the beach because that tends to be where the fish live. BUT this time of year, I forget about my preference for mountains over oceans and get the urge to add some nautical touches to my projects. These beachy craft supplies will help you get in the mood for summer and the beach, whether you are a beach bum or a mountain man!

You can hang this prety LASER CUT MERMAID WALL ART on your wall as soon as you receive it, or you can use it as an embellishment for a larger art piece. I think it would be so pretty mounted on some pallet wood that has been given a pretty grey color wash.
These TIERED DRIFTWOOD CANDLE HOLDERS are pretty as is, but would also look nice painted in shades of blue or grey.
I bet you could cluster a few of these HANGING HEMP NET VASES together to give them a beachy, buoy vibe. Add some battery or solar powered lights to add ambiance to a porch or sunroom.
If you have a beachy or preppy bathroom, you can up the decor with a few sets of DECORATIVE NAUTICAL COMPASS KNOBS. 
Add NAUTICAL COMPASS AND MERMAID CHARMS to a necklace or charm bracelet, or add them as charms on some pretty tassels!
Use these Martha Stewart NAUTICAL SEA STENCILS to add seaside designs to party decorations, home decor, glassware…. The Martha stencils are super versatile.
Duck Brand is killing it with the cute tape patterns. I love this preppy ANCHOR DUCT TAPE especially.
Just think of all the ways you could customize a CRAFT WOOD LIGHTHOUSE. Paint it, glue on small rocks, add in a small light. I think it would be awfully cute to make a nautical themed fairy garden too!
Customize an UNFINISHED WOOD BOAT to suit your color scheme, then you can use it to add some height to your decorative displays.
There are dozens of uses for NATURALLY WEATHERED DRIFTWOOD PIECES. Glue them onto a candle holder, string them onto twine for a rustic garland, or use them as vase filler in a pretty bowl.
