Description

Instructions

  1. Small 110186 2f2015 08 03 130358 img 1701

    Cut a long length of green necklace cord.

  2. Small 110186 2f2015 08 03 130338 img 1704

    Chain 120 using a crochet hook.

  3. Small 110186 2f2015 08 02 085147 img 1709

    Remove the cork from the vial.

  4. Small 110186 2f2015 08 02 085156 img 1711

    Screw one eye hook into the top of the cork.

  5. Small 110186 2f2015 08 02 085242 img 1712

    Attach the seahorse charm to the other eye hook and then screw into the bottom of the cork.

  6. Small 110186 2f2015 08 02 085300 img 1717

    Squeeze a few drops of superglue into the bottom of the vial.

  7. Small 110186 2f2015 08 02 085343 img 1713

    Fill with sand and leave to dry. Make sure not to put too much in or your seahorse wont look like it's floating.

  8. Small 110186 2f2015 08 02 085426 img 1714

    Add some air plants or seaweed to the bottom of the vial.

  9. Small 110186 2f2015 08 02 085721 img 1715

    Collect a few small shells and add to your vial.

  10. Small 110186 2f2015 08 02 085821 img 1716

    When you're happy with your vial, place a small funnel in the top.

  11. Small 110186 2f2015 08 02 085903 img 1719

    Fill with water. I added a drop of green food colouring to mine to give it an extra lagoony look. Don't worry if some of the sand or plants float to the top, they'll eventually sink.

  12. Small 110186 2f2015 08 02 085949 img 1721

    Stick some super glue around the edges of the cork and place inside the vial, securing in place.

  13. Small 110186 2f2015 08 02 090035 img 1722

    Gather your crocheted chain, another length of cord and a yarn needle.

  14. Small 110186 2f2015 08 02 090119 img 1723

    Place the vial in the middle of the cord and knot in place. Slip the two ends of the cord through the crochet chain.

  15. Small 110186 2f2015 08 02 090221 img 1724

    Loop each side of the cord up either side of the chain, adding any nautical style beads, shells and sequins you like as you go.

  16. Small 110186 2f2015 08 02 090308 img 1726

    Knot the braid at the top.

  17. Small 110186 2f2015 08 02 090331 img 1765

    You're all done!
