How to create a nautical beach theme on a budget?
I am wanting to create a "Nautical/Beach theme" for my bedroom & bathroom. I am on a major tight budget, so I need DIY ideas that are inexpensive. Also, I LOVE when I can "do-it-myself' b/c it makes it feel more like "my style"!THANKS a million!!! 😊"Beach Bum at heart, ViKi"

I have an apothecary jar filled with sea shells and sand dollars from Pismo Beach. You can string sea shells up like garland and add them to your curtain valence or use as tie backs. You can make votive holders with sea shells, just glue onto dollar store containers.

You could throw a bag of sand on the floor and scatter old fish heads you find in a dumpster around the room, that should do it economically.
