Crafts - Ideas, Sea Glass Projects,
or Sea Glass Art Possibilities
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.
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 idealfor 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.

Interested in selling your
handmade items? Craft-Selling-Parties.com
has great advice on selling crafts at a craft home party and starting a
home-based craft business.
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.
On the other hand, 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, beach glass, or even recycled glass)!
