HAIRBRUSH
I made a hairbrush using some of the sea waste I collected on the beach just left of Brighton Marina.
Sea Waste:
-Fishing rope
-Driftwood
-Tar
Materials and equipment used:
-Scissors
-Drill
-Superglue
-Masking tape
-Linseed oil
-Sandpaper
-Saw
1) I started off by cutting 45 x 3cm strips of rope about 4mm wide and securing them with masking tape at one end and then supergluing them, then removed the tape once dry.
2) Next I cut a piece of wood about 10cmx4cmx2cm (this can vary depending on material found), and sanded the corners.
3) I then marked out 45 dots on the wood and drill down the dots roughly 1cm using a 5mm drill bit.
4) Next I mixed the tar I found with linseed oil to make tar paint ( which acts as a waterproof varnish, but you could use any varnish available) and coated the wooden block in this.
5) Finally I put superglue into the holes and slotted in the rope, then left it to dry.
6) Now you have a sea waste brush, which you can use as you please.
