[DIY] Driftwood Crafts and Furniture Ideas Collection

hanger rack

[Driftwood DIY] Super cheap! Hanger rack. The only thing you need to buy is ___.

Driftwood has become easy to buy even on flea market sites.

I suppose lots of people use it for things other than aquariums.

A “life that feels the wood” will surely enrich the heart.

If you can get a long piece of driftwood, how about making a hanger rack? It seems doable even without blueprints or special skills.

Driftwood that retains the texture of woods like beech or cherry is even better.

Once the hanger rack is done, you could try making hangers next! Even just pairing driftwood with the wire hangers that come with dry-cleaned shirts will change the mood.

It might be fun to live with different themes from room to room—say, a near-futuristic living room and an American old-style kitchen.

Since the bathroom is a place you visit many times a day, why not give it a natural vibe so you can relax? If the toilet paper holder were made from driftwood, your guests would surely go, “Whoa!!” Blueprints for paper holders are uploaded online, so even beginners can proceed with confidence.

The trick to a great finish is to cut the driftwood as little as possible and keep its natural curves!

driftwood guitar

I turned some wood I picked up into a guitar and tried playing “KiLLiNG ME” by SiM

Have you ever seen a TV show where someone makes a flute out of real vegetables and actually plays it? Or a violin made from a plastic bottle? If you think about it, you could probably craft an instrument from driftwood, too.

After all, guitars and ukuleles are made of wood, so driftwood would be a great match! If you’re the creative type, I’d love for you to give it a try.

If balancing lots of strings sounds hard, start with just one string! Let’s create a one-of-a-kind guitar for the world!

Driftwood spoon

Making a driftwood spoon with an unusual-shaped knife

Don’t you ever find yourself thinking, “Oh, that’s stylish,” when spoons or forks are made of wood? You often see wooden spoons at specialty international restaurants or carefully curated curry shops.

If you can get your hands on a small piece of driftwood, why not try making your own spoon from it? Hard woods like oak or cherry can be tough to work with, so start by trying a softer driftwood like cedar.

Once you’ve roughed out the general shape, all that’s left is to sand it thoroughly with sandpaper.

Make the handle thick and you’ve got a universal design—a lovely driftwood spoon, complete!

Driftwood earrings

[HAND MADE vlog] How Driftwood Earrings Are Made

Why are people so fascinated by driftwood? I think it’s because driftwood carries a slightly mysterious aura—where the tree grew, how many years it took to mature, and how it eventually found its way to that shore.

That sense of mystery doesn’t fade even when it becomes earrings.

Let’s take small pieces of driftwood as they are and combine them with store-bought jewels to create one-of-a-kind original earrings.

DIY earring kits are sold at large variety stores, so use one as a base and add driftwood to make your own.

And since you’ll be wearing them, don’t forget to wash and disinfect the driftwood!

picture frame

DIY CRAFT: I tried making a picture frame with driftwood.

I think many people enjoy painting, printmaking, or creating picture postcards as a hobby.

Here’s a suggestion for those folks: making an original frame out of driftwood is a lovely idea.

It will really enhance the look of your piece! For a rough, dynamic painting, you could border the artwork itself with driftwood; for a cute picture postcard, you might add driftwood only along the bottom edge.

Designing your work in reverse with driftwood as a key element is a fresh approach, too.

Even just attaching driftwood onto a store-bought frame can make it feel completely different.
