Driftwood Fish Wall Hanging

The minute I saw these driftwood fish in Marshall's I new I wanted one.  I could either pay the cost of the fish or I could make myself one or two for free! I choose free...

Luckily I live near a beach so driftwood is not a problem to find around here. 

Please take the time to visit the bold blue links in this post to find more information and the products I recommend to make this project. 

If you don't live near a beach, driftwood can be bought at craft stores and on Amazon. 

All I needed for this project was hot glue, cardboard, and driftwood. 

First, I cut a piece of heavy cardboard into a fish shape. 

I knew the cardboard that came with my Amazon food order was going to come in handy for something! 

Next, I laid the driftwood pieces down along the fish. 

I tried to find pieces that fit the width of the fish, smaller on the ends and longer in the center. 

I used the hot glue to glue the sticks down to the cardboard. 

I added gills using a curved piece of driftwood and a rock for the eye. 

I used smaller driftwood pieces for the tail. 

Lastly, I added a sawtooth hanger with a blob of hot glue to the back of the fish so I could hang it on the wall. 

This was such a simple project, why pay for it at Marshalls when you can make it for free? 

I liked it so much I made another one, this time I used an oyster shell for the fin and a rock for the eye. 

This one I painted with white spray paint. 

They look great hung separately or together on the wall. 

It's a great decoration for the summer months!
