How to fry marbles and then transform them into jewelry

6 Comments 

friedmarbles2-main_Full Here 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.
