[DIY] Driftwood Crafts and Furniture Ideas Collection

photo frame

I made a photo frame out of driftwood.

Displaying photos from your trip to the beach in a picture frame made from driftwood you picked up then… isn’t that a bit romantic? All you need is some glue, so if you get the chance to go to the beach, definitely give it a try.

It’s also pretty easy to make a type that frames a plastic sheet about the size for four photos with driftwood.

Chestnut and oak are very hard woods, so they last a long time.

To tell those kinds of wood apart, try collecting driftwood that makes a high, ringing sound—clang, clang—when you strike it against a rock!

Chic DIY: Let’s Make a Driftwood Clock!

Driftwood you spot when you go tide pooling or swimming at the beach can become a wonderful memento just by taking it home and displaying it.

Want to power up that memory even more? Try making a clock out of driftwood.

You might be thinking, “Can I really make a clock?” but once you get a basic clock kit, you can create it any way you like.

You can keep it simple by just attaching the clock to the driftwood, or channel your artistic spirit to make a totally original clock! If you have kids, definitely try making one together.

You can find clock kits at large variety stores or home improvement centers.

Be sure to let the driftwood dry thoroughly before using it.

Potted arrangement on driftwood

[DIY] Drill holes in driftwood and make a succulent arrangement. That’s all this video is about.

Natural taste, organic, slow living—the return to nature, coexistence with it, and our longing for the natural world never go out of style.

As a first step to enjoying some soothing, healing time, how about gardening with driftwood? Start by looking for driftwood along the sea or a river, but keep the mindset of “I’m here for a pleasant walk,” not “I’m going to hunt some down!” If you find a bowl-shaped piece, you’re in luck—use it like a planter and plant seasonal flowers.

If you come across a larger piece, try creating a mixed planting with flowers or succulents.

The key is to lay a net at the very bottom so the roots don’t spill out of the driftwood.

Top 5 recommended stylish accessory stands

How do you store your piercings and rings? It’s such a waste to just pile them up at the back of a drawer! Make a cute accessory stand out of driftwood so your necklaces, bracelets, and other pretty trinkets are always on display.

There’s no set shape.

Use your imagination to combine pieces of driftwood—one tip is to connect them in a three-dimensional way.

You might find props to nicely display rings and earrings at a 100-yen shop! When you have time, explore the DIY section and see what you can discover.

Aquarium

[Aquarium] How to Make Moss-Covered Driftwood (Hobby Gardening Text)

I always find myself wandering into the aquarium section at home improvement stores, even though I don’t keep fish.

It feels a bit like visiting a small aquarium.

You’ll often see driftwood for tanks—rings, cave-like shapes that could be a fish’s home, and all sorts of varieties lined up.

If you do keep fish, I highly recommend enriching your tank with driftwood you’ve collected yourself! It’s great to customize it to your liking—add a charred finish, or some artificial turf for a touch of green.

Just be sure to sterilize it thoroughly, as driftwood always carries bacteria and microorganisms.

air plant

Air Plants: How to Create Stylish Interior Decor with 100-Yen Shop Air Plants [Driftwood]

Air plants grow by absorbing moisture from the air.

Since they don’t need soil or roots, they might seem like the ultimate plant.

When I first saw one, I was shocked—“Is it alive?” Just tuck an air plant into a hollow in a piece of driftwood and you’ve got a wonderfully stylish objet; driftwood picked up as a travel keepsake instantly becomes room decor! Varieties like T.

cacticola and T.

intermedia even bloom.

T.

albida prefers dry conditions, so go easy on the misting!

side table

[¥0 DIY] Side Table Made from Driftwood and Scrap Materials

A side table can be surprisingly handy next to a rocking chair for relaxing on the veranda.

How about enhancing your downtime with an original side table made from driftwood? Since it won’t be holding anything too heavy, you could even make it using just glue without any nails.

The trick is to sand the surfaces where you’ll apply the glue so they’re nice and clean.

A simple, cool look might be to apply varnish to bring out the wood grain.

Make it together with friends or family and turn it into a side table full of memories.
