First you will need fishing gear. My husband is not fisherman in our family, I am. So it's easy for me to save old fishing lures that hooks have dulled and gives me a great excuse to buy more too! Bobbers have a tendency to stop floating after a few whacks on rocks along shoreline, rendering them useless to fisherman but a great find for decorator. If you confiscate gear from hubby's tackle box remember you now know what to get him for next holiday or special occasion!

Yard sales and estate sales are great for purchasing inexpensive, used fishing equipment for your decorating projects. Yard sales are less risky than hubby's tackle box too. Keep an eye out for used fishing nets, poles, lures, bobbers, metal stringers and other gear.

The last thing you want is your fishing decor to smell fishy. Be sure to clean everything very carefully and thoroughly. I use alcohol for lures, bobbers and such. Good detergent and bleach for nets. Vinegar and lemon juice work well too.

What type of decorating can you do with your accumulated treasures? This is where fun really begins, let your imagination shine. Here are just a few ideas to get you started. Minnow buckets make good catch all containers for bedrooms, kid’s rooms and bathrooms for items like crayons, hair do-dads, brushes and combs etc. If you are really crafty they can be turned into lamps. Buy lamp fixtures at hardware store or inexpensive narrow based lamps that fit into top opening of minnow bucket.
