“Faux” Glass Floats – Coastal DIY Christmas Ornament

Creating unique Coastal DIY Christmas ornaments for my tree is what I love. I love the feel of a Coastal Christmas. I also loved creating the "Faux" Glass Floats, Christmas ornaments!

This has been a post, I’ve been so excited to write up.  I made these DIY “faux” glass floats last April.  After I made them I knew I wanted to incorporate them into my Coastal Christmas Tree this year. They were perfect for a Coastal DIY Christmas Ornament.

I was really debating on making some new colors, maybe some red glass floats.  But I decided against it.  I thought these colors were perfect.  Especially after I got all my other decorations for the tree.  Adding a new color would have thrown the whole tree off.

This tree just turned out beautiful, I love all the new ornaments I got this year for the tree.  But I love that there are a few custom Coastal DIY Christmas ornaments I made for the tree as well.  I just think it really personalizes the tree.

It all started with these! 

If you can believe it, these ornaments are made from foam balls.  I love the real ones but they are super expensive and I knew if my kids bumped into them or dropped one I would freak out.  So, I decided to make some “Faux” glass floats using the foam balls.

These are seriously my favorite post I worked on for 2016.  If I had to choose one this would be it for sure.  Plus they have doubled as a Coastal DIY Christmas Ornament. Win Win!

Had to stop by a cute little beach by my old house Had to stop by a cute little beach by my old house in Apollo Beach in Florida.  It’s crazy how I took all these little beaches by my house for granted when I lived there.  I’d be at them everyday now if I could. 🌊😩🐚✨😉
