Let me start by saying how much my daughter loves sea life. Her bedroom is dedicated to Dolphins, Driftwood and Beach life. This project is perfect for her Beach themed bedroom. These would also be amazing for Beach theme party or wedding decorations. The whale is actually craft foam, cut to look like wood. I have never worked with this foam, but after seeing this project I am really keen to give it a go. You can learn how to make your own over at Crafts by Courtney
