How many ways can I take "treasures from the sea" and make home decor/art out of them? Oh, let me count the ways...I simply LOVE decorating with natural materials, especially something found by the sea.
So for years I have admired framed sea fans like this one in black...
Or these in coral...
or these in light blue...aren't they pretty grouped together?
Or...be still my heart...WHITE ones!
Until recently, I thought these little pretties were completely out of my price range, (I have seen them cost hundreds of dollars each) but then I met my new friend, Cyndy, over at The Creativity Exchange, who has a fabulous tutorial for how to make these yourself! Check it out.
Now my wheels are REALLY turning and I can't wait to try this project, so I will let you know how it turns out! Thanks Cyndy...
Thank you so much Kristy for featuring my blog today! What a thrill and honor, thank you so much!! I'm so glad that you like the sea fans. I agree, they were totally out of my price range initially and when I figured out how to dye them, I did the crafty happy dance! I can't stop dying them now!! Thank you again Kristy!
Cheers!
Cyndy

I have a sea fan that I would like to dye white. Can you tell me what to use.

Thanks for your comment. I have never dyed any of my sea fans, so I am not quite sure what to tell you! I have seen some beautifully colored ones, so maybe they are dyed. Check on Google to see if there is a tutorial or someone who has done it...I have even thought of painting them...maybe someday!
Good luck to you, Kristy
