{Driftwood Sailboats....a Craft Monkey Rerun}

I actually first shared these here at the Craft Monkey last summer, but it's summer time again and I was feeling the driftwood love.  So I thought I'd share again for any of you who might have missed this last time.  

This is by far one of my most favorite Craft Monkey projects!
I matched up pieces of wood, one piece for the bottom "boat" part and another piece for the "pole" part.
Then I drilled a small hole {about the size of the "pole" piece so it would fit together easier.
I used Gorilla Glue to hold the two pieces together.
I didn't take pictures of the next step, but I basically cute pieces of drop cloth and hot glued them to the "pole".  Easy peasy and super fabulous!  AND, this was a thrifty project too! Wood = free, Drop Cloth, already on hand = free!

Doesn't it look gorgeous on my mantel with my starfish flag?

So what do you think? Are you going to run to the beach to pick up some driftwood so you can make your own sail boats?
