A great way to use up that sea glass youve collected all summer long!
We could undoubtedly walk for hours combing the beach for treasures.
We love the way these beach glass trees turned out.
They are cutsie and fun with the starfish topper but also elegant with all the natural glass.
Wrap a piece of tape approximately 34 from the base.
Next, paint the cones and toothpicks using an acrylic paint in white.
Leave the paint to dry fully before moving on to the next step.
The toothpick is likely not strong enough to break through the paper mache.
Turn the starfish embellishments with the back side facing up.
Hold the toothpick in place until the glue sets.
Put aside for the time being.
For this first tree, we used only green beach glass.
Dont extend the glass past the base of the cone.
Continue around the rim of the cone gluing one beach glass piece at a time.
Continue working one sea glass piece at a time and one row at a time.
Work your way up to the top of the cone, using different sea glass sizes and colors.
Once the glue has fully set, clean off any loose glue strands.
Adorable, beachy trees, perfect for your Christmas decorating or as a pretty accessory for the cottage.
They also make thoughtful one-of-a-kind gift ideas for any beach-loving friend.
