First of all, if the Styx song doesn’t immediately pop into your head when you read the words “come sail away,” then I just don’t understand. But I guess that’s okay. Speaking of, here’s some mood music for the rest of this post!
Moving on… Nautical crafts. I love them because I love all things boating. My dad’s side of the family were big on boating and watersports. In fact, I can’t remember a summer where I didn’t go boating or hop on a WaveRunner. Whenever we went on vacation, we went to places in Wisconsin, Missouri, and Kentucky where we could spend the majority of our time on a lake. Though I was nowhere near an ocean, I quickly hopped on the nautical trend.
It wasn’t until a few years later that I figured out that nautical DIY projects made for the best summer crafts! I’m especially a huge fan of nautical crafts that incorporate navy blue and white; it’s just such a classic color combination!
I’ve sought out how-tos for everything from nautical decor crafts to beach-themed crafts to fun nautical jewelry. If you’re like me and you love the look of nautical DIY projects, then you’re really going to enjoy these cheap crafting ideas!
