Driftwood mirrors have always been a popular craft projects, probably because they are so easy to make. All you need is a piece of mirror cut to size or shape, a hot glue gun and small pieces of driftwood.

Smaller craft projects that use driftwood can be as simple as adding a driftwood frame to a tray or using a larger piece of driftwood as a candle holder.

Driftwood table lamps, floor lamps and ceiling lamps require a bit more creative thinking - all depending on how much driftwood you manage to acquire and whether or not it has interesting shapes that will fit together. We made a lamp stand out of twigs that could easily be substituted with driftwood.

One of my favourite uses for driftwood is to make a driftwood garland. Make a driftwood garland by drilling a small hole through the centre of each piece of driftwood and inserting nylon line, string or twine to hold the pieces together.

You can use a driftwood garland as a table runner (above) or to add a touch of coastal decor to your home (below).

How about making up driftwood garlands to use as a screen. In this bathroom (below) a driftwood curtain has been mounted to hide the toilet. Very simple idea that looks absolutely stunning. You could use a driftwood garland curtain to section off a shower cubicle or hide an ugly feature such as an indoor geyser.

Add a touch of coastal style to your home by hanging a driftwood garland from the ceiling.

Decorative wall art is another way to put found pieces of driftwood to use as decor for a home. You will find plenty of ideas on the Internet, but love the contemporary driftwood art panel (above) and horse (below).

For the lucky beachcomber who stumbles upon a large piece of drifwood, using this as a base for a dining table or driftwood coffee table creates an instant feature in any room.

In the spirit of Christmas, we just had to include a driftwood Christmas tree. A driftwood Christmas tree makes for a beautiful alternative to a traditional fake tree.
