    Sea Glass Crafts - Ideas, sea glass projects,
    or sea glass art possiblities


    A lot of people (including myself) like to use their beach glass and sea glass for
    jewelry, maybe by creating wire wrapped jewelry or creating jewelry using metalsmithing techniques.

    If you're reading this page, you've probably got your sea glass stored up in jars or boxes. You don't want to leave it in a jar (although that is pretty too), but aren't quite sure what to do with it.

    On the other hand, a good many people don't know the techniques or have the equipment for making jewelry BUT would definitely like to create something interesting and personalized, that is, sea glass crafts.

    Great! Sea glass (or "beach glass") is ideal for making gifts (for others or for yourself).

    For example, I've a friend who loves to collect sea glass but she doesn't really have the time to do anything with it. One thing she does do, though, is to put her sea glass in cute little jars and give them as gifts as her way of saying thanks or I'm thinking of you.



    You'd be amazed at how attractive sea glass crafts can be, and people love to get them because they make such unique presents. That's not to mention the satisfaction YOU have of knowing you're promoting recyclable, eco-friendly gifts.

    What are the techniques used to make sea glass jewelry?


    Some notes on crafts, sea glass, and you:

    If you got into a conversation with most people about crafts, sea glass would probably not be in their vocabulary. However, with the rise in popularity of recycling and eco friendly gifts combined with the growing popularity of do-it-yourself arts and crafts, sea glass is one of the things that many, like you, are now considering.

    However, I would encourage you not to use your jewelry grade sea glass/beach glass for the crafts projects.

    They're just too precious for that. See the color rarity chart and jewelry grading to help you decide which pieces to use for sea glass crafts ideas.

    Definitely use your craft grade sea glass for these sea glass crafts projects but hold onto to those wonderful little jewelry quality sea glass (also called mermaid's tears, beachglass, or even recycled glass)!

    Do you think you might have a very rare color of beach glass?
