Beach in a Bottle {A DIY Vacation Souvenir}

June 3, 2016 by Bre 4 Comments

Last week I was on vacation in Seabrook Island, South Carolina.  It was AMAZING!  My family and I have been going there every year for the past several years, and it’s starting to feel like our home away from home.  It’s really quiet there with no commercial development on the island, so it’s the perfect place to feel like you’re actually getting away.  Seabrook Island, South Carolina

You never have to fight for a spot on the beach and there’s always some good nature to be seen.  For city folks who consider mice and squirrels to be wildlife, that’s pretty exciting stuff.  Because we treasure our time at the beach, we decided to bring a little of it home with us in this Beach in a Bottle DIY Vacation Souvenir craft.  Is a beach vacation in your future? If the answer is yes, bring the beach home with you with this fun Beach in a Bottle DIY Vacation Souvenir! Click through for the tutorial.

This is a fantastic way to bring some sand and shells home in your suitcase.  All you need is a pack of these mini glass bottles (affiliate link – please see my disclosure policy here), and some time on the beach!Is a beach vacation in your future?
