When my sons were young we wnt to the seashore every summer. They loved the beaches, sandcastles and collecting seashells. So what can you do with the small sells. I put some sand in a bottle, the shells, a pic of them collecting the shells and add some sisal and shells to top.
You can mod podge and use a napkin to cover a bottle....like this
I love altered bottles. Here's a few I made. I've done lots more, most of which I like better than these, but this is all I have pics of. So much fun to do!
I had a beautiful green glass cooky jar- I wanted to chalk paint it so I started to clean it. All kinds of black junk came off.i now have a clear jar:( now to get stuff out of the sink and out of drain!
I make beautiful storm lanterns, see the photos here:

I created these by spray painting them white, then stenciling the letters. I painted the letters with glitter paint I made with decoupage, paint and glitter. I used some of the Dollar Tree table sprinkles and glued them in place with decoupage. Next I wrapped a small amount of burlap string around the tops, added some curling ribbon, used the St Pats Day wire with the tiny shamrocks and stuck flowers into the tops. Finished! Setting them next to the mantle mirror caused a reflection which sparkled when the sun hit them.
So glad to see this all together. Thanks HIllela!
