How to fry marbles and then transform them into jewelry

3 Comments

friedmarbles2-main_Full Over at ehow there is a cool tutorial on how to fry marbles. Why you ask would you want to fry marbles? Because when you do they crack and look crystallized. The tutorial over there includes directions on how to turn the marbles into jewelry using bell caps, but if you are more into wire wrapping pop on over here to see a tutorial on how to make a marble float in an old earring.

    I used to do this and then I used a wire wrap like the pattern that holds a champagne cork.

    You do have to watch out though some marbles start to chip and break apart and can be sharp.

    I also found that the larger marbles make pretty hanging decorations, in the garden or on a x-mass tree.
