BOTTLE CAP PENDANT

Bottle caps are one thing that you will always see at a beach.
I hoping with this idea a lot of people would want to keep their bottle caps then throwing them on the ground. Please keep our beaches clean!

All you need is Bottle caps, paper, glue and clear nail polish. Cut a circle out of paper and glue it right into the bottom of the bottle cap.
Do not brush the nail polish on the paper, just pour a couple of drops onto it. It will take a hour to dry.

To hang it, you would need to drill a hole in the one side of it.
You can always glue a magnet on the back or even glue a pin backing to it.

DECORATIVE RECYCLED LIGHTED GLASS BOTTLES

Very easy to make, all you need is a dark glass bottle that you find on our beaches, clean it out. You can make your own label for it if you would like too. You need any color of the 50 mini lights that they sell around the holidays and silk flowers to decorate the top of the bottle with.
First put the 50 mini lights in the bottle and then stick the stems into the bottle, if there is any silk leaves on the stems please take them off.
Then plug it in and you have yourself a Decorative Light you can put anywhere near an outlet.

DRIFTWOOD DISPLAY

Here's a fun way for your child to display his favorite beach snapshot or a collage of your best vacation photos.

CRAFT MATERIALS:
	Piece of dry driftwood
	Tacky glue
	Small wooden craft clothespins
Time needed: About 1 Hour

1. Remove any sand from the driftwood (a dry paintbrush or soft scrub brush makes a good tool for this). Then simply glue several clothespins to the back of the driftwood, spacing them apart and angling them in a way that will let you attach several photos with none obstructing another. If needed, use rubber bands or twist ties to hold the clothespins in place until the glue dries.

PLASTIC BOTTLE CAPS ORNAMENTS

This is made of Plastic bottle caps and plastic bottles cut in half.  All you need for the plastic bottle caps is paint, but you can leave them as is.  

1 nail, 1 hammer and a fishing line (sometimes you can find it on the beach) On the side of each bottle cap you need to make a hole with the nail if you can not punch it  out with your fingers then try a hammer, but make sure that there is a thick wood surface under the bottle cap.  With the Plastic Bottles just cut the bottom off and the top.  I am trying to come up with more ideas to do with the middle part.  Now have you ever notice that the bottom of the plastic bottles almost looks like a Sand Dollar?

RECYCLE YOUR OLD PLASTIC KIDDIE POOL

IF YOU LIVE ON THE BEACH OR YOU HAVE A HARD TIME PLANTING IN THE DIRT THAT IS AROUND YOUR HOUSE AND EVEN IF YOU LIVED IN AN APARTMENT WITH A LARGE PATIO. NOW YOU CAN GROW ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE IN YOUR PLASTIC KIDDIE POOL. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TAKE YOUR OLD PLASTIC KIDDIE POOL AND IF YOU WANT YOU CAN SPRAY PAINT THE OUTSIDE ANY COLOR YOU WANT. I MAKE MINE LOOK LIKE THE COLOR OF DIRT SO IT BLENDS IN. DO NOT SPRAY PAINT THE INSIDE OF THE POOL. THEN FILL IT UP WITH DIRT ALMOST UP TO THE TOP DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU ARE GROWING. IF THE PLANTS NEED FULL SUN, THEN OF COURSE KEEP IT IN THE FULL SUN AND SO ON. IF YOU DON'T LIKE SEEING YOUR POOL, YOU CAN DIG A HOLE INTO THE GROUND THE SIZE OF THE POOL SO IT WOULD LOOK LIKE A ROUND CIRCLE OF PLANTS.

RECYCLE YOUR OLD BLOW UP KIDDIE POOL

NOW AFTER SUMMER IS OVER, I LIKE TO BRING MY SMALL BLOW UP KIDDIE POOL TO THE BEACH. I PUT MY YOUNG KIDS IN THE POOL WITH THE WATER SO I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEM PLAYING IN THE OCEAN. YOU CAN ALSO PUT SAND IN IT TOO, WHEN YOU ARE DONE WITH IT EMPTY THE WATER OR SAND OUT AND DEFLATE IT. IT'S READY TO GO FOR THE NEXT TIME. MAKE SURE THE POOL IS FAR AWAY FROM THE WATER, IT CAN FLOAT AWAY. IF YOU HAVE ONE OF THOSE BIG UMBRELLAS YOU CAN STICK IT RIGHT NEXT TO THE POOL FOR SOME SHADE, MY KIDS WILL PLAY IN IT ALL DAY LONG WHILE MY HUSBAND AND MY OLDER KIDS CAN PLAY IN THE OCEAN AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE BABIES GOING AFTER THEM.
