Do you love the beach but can’t always get there? Bring the beach to your home with this coastal clothespin wreath craft!

This is an easy project that you can complete in around an hour or so (need time for the paint to dry), and it’s a great way to add some beach vibes to your decor.

You’ll use wooden clothespins and seashells to create a beautiful wreath that will remind you of those warm summer days by the ocean!

Materials & Tools Used in This Craft

For your convenience, I’ve linked any notable materials and tools needed for this project to Amazon below. (It may not include basic crafting supplies such as glue or scissors, as you may already have those.) The complete list of ALL supplies required can be found on the tutorial card at the end of this post.

• 14-Inch Wire Wreath Form
• Metal Relax Sign – if you can’t find this exact sign locally, you can replace it with a wooden one instead, or even wooden letters from the craft store.
• Sea Shells – use ones you have on hand that you may have collected yourself, or buy ones suitable for crafting. Use any kind you like!
• Wooden Spring Hinge Clothespins (Pegs) – you could always upcycle some old ones you have. You will need around 75.
• White Spray Paint – or any white paint you have on hand
• Coffee – to darken some of the clothespins
• Container – to soak the clothespins in the coffee, use one you have on hand
• Light Blue Paint

Cheap Craft Supplies

A great thing about this craft idea is that it’s budget-friendly using supplies you may already have or can be purchased cheaply in stores:

If you’re in the USA, check out your local Dollar Store or Dollar Tree; and if you’re in the UK, the Poundshop, The Range, Wilko, and Baker Ross are great places to shop for cheap and inexpensive craft supplies. The rest of the world reading this – I don’t know every cheap store – sorry! But hunt the ones out in your location for crafting bargains!
