Beach decor is one of my favorite types of decor…right next to a good farmhouse vibe. I’m not able to visit the beach as often as I like, so I love anything that reminds me of a relaxing day at the beach.

This fish is actually really easy to make and you will love how it turns out. It fits in perfectly with beach home decor, especially in my upstairs bathroom.

If you love the beach as much as I do, check out more beach-themed decor, including  Beach in a Bottle Keepsake, Beach Themed Wall Art, Stamped Driftwood, Driftwood Wall Art: Beach Home Decor, Nautical Rope Wall Art and Easy DIY Monogram Sea Glass Art.

This craft will look like you spent way more time on it than you actually did! I saw a similar version on Amazon and I knew I had to have it. But, in true crafter form, I wanted to make it so it could be my very own!

How to Make Fish Wall Art from Driftwood:

Supplies needed to make driftwood wall art:

Instructions

Start by drawing a rough fish shape onto the plaque with a pencil. This does not have to be perfect!

Use a scroll saw to cut out your fish shape.

Then add a sawtooth hanger to the back of your fish. It is best to add this now instead of when your project is finished.

Start filling in the fish shape with driftwood. Play around with the pieces like a puzzle and just dry fit them onto the cut plaque. You can cut any pieces with the saw to make them fit.

Then use hot glue to secure each piece of driftwood to the fish shape. You can try an industrial-strength glue if you would like. I found that hot glue worked perfectly in my case.

Then just hang your project on the wall using the sawtooth hanger on the back. I hung mine with my DIY oars and beach shadowbox.

I love the rustic feel of this driftwood wall art. It is the perfect way to bring a bit of the beach indoors.

Do you sleep at night, with all the ideas running thru your head for projects to make? Do you find that making one project spurs another? My problem is being in middle of project then thinking of way to change it, make it better or different.
Your driftwood fish is so cute, love rusticity of form using drift wood. Haven’t noticed drift wood for sale anywhere but haven’t really looked. would be wonderful with my beach theme in l/r right now.You are so good at whatever you make.
Have all the pieces ready to make the burlap flower, just need to locate glue gun.
Have great week Angie.
