I have been meaning to make one of these forever. My Craftsman drill has been broken for a while, so I was waiting for that to be remedied! Anyhooo, I just bought a new drill/screw driver and love it, it is a Skilz brand and has a lot more get up and go than the old one! So, I got my driftwood out and lined them up to be in graduated lengths.
I drilled a single hold in the approximate middle of each piece of wood. I looked all over for some sea glass that I could drill holes in, but then had trouble finding the glass drill bit.
So I ended up going with sea glass colored beads, strung one or two of them between each piece of driftwood. I just used a fine nylon string that I found in the garage. I would think some nylon fishing line would be good as well.
I will be glad when the trees leaf out and there will be more of a “natural” background! We have had such a mild winter, even so I am ready for it to be over!
I am linking up to these great parties!
