Creative recycling of driftwood
Driftwood can be used to create a wide range of decorative and functional objects. Wood smoothed by water and salt often takes on unique shapes that lend themselves well to creative reuse. Washed ashore by the waves, it becomes the raw material for creating precious objects for the home and beyond. Lamps, chandeliers, picture frames, centerpieces. Even elegant and original jewelry holders.
