Are you a fan of maritime decorations? With simple materials and a little creativity, you can easily bring a bit of that beach feeling right into your home. In these step-by-step instructions, I'll show you how to create artistic maritime decorations using the simplest of materials. Whether as an eye-catcher in the living room or as an original gift - your creation is guaranteed to be admired! Let's go!
Step 1: Painting the anchor
The basis for this decoration idea is the VBS wooden anchor crafting blank. Start by priming the entire piece of wood with beige paint. Then colour the lower part of the wooden anchor with coloured stripes in sea green or a similar colour:
Use a ruler and pencil to draw fine lines on your workpiece, which will precisely define the individual coloured areas and make it easier for you to paint with the maritime colour. Make sure that the colour edges are as precise as possible.

Step 2: The gloss effect
Once you have painted your anchor in the desired colours, it's time for the gloss effect! Cover the sections painted in sea green with 3D Hydro Varnish. Apply this varnish straight from the bottle. This special varnish gives your work a fascinating shine. Allow the varnish to dry thoroughly before moving on to the next step.
Step 3: Sand and sea shells for that beach feeling
Mix the handicraft glue and mineral sand into a creamy mixture. Apply this mixture to the bottom of your workpiece. Once everything is dry, stick sea shells on using hot glue. These details give your artwork an authentic look and beach feeling.

Step 4: The cord for the finishing touches
Wrap a jute cord around the anchor ring and fix the wrapped areas with a little glue. The VBS wooden anchor is supplied with a loop. This means you can attach your new maritime decoration to your wall straight away!
