What kind of crafts or jewlery could you make with sea glass?
I have been collecting sea glass. I then began wrapping each piece with wire to make pendents to sell. They aren’t selling very well. I hope someone has some ideas of things I could make out of the glass to sell. I do live in a coastal community and the sea glass is directly from the beaches nearby.

Have you tried to glue the pieces on candle cups, or decorated picture frames with that glass? You can always make pencil holders, but you will still need a little cup. You can also decorate a mirror. I guess you just need to buy some little things and paste them to those things. It’s kinda fun to decorate and come up with new ideas. I hope this helps.

Use it to do mosaics on things like bathroom cups and toothbrush holders, soap dishes and the likes for bathroom items. People really love seascape things for their bathrooms. If you have the different colors then you could make it look like fish and so forth.
Good luck.

if you put them in a nice bowl and put scented oil on them – they become potpourri. you can drill holes and make a necklace – but it has to be interesting… and you can easily make it yourself (the glass). if you get into electroplating/forming, you can paint silver lines on it and put some real metal on them.

Beach in a bottle. You probably seem those in gift shop. Also instead of using stones or marbles for flowers in vase , use sea glass. You can also make a zen – scape box. You can also write or print inspiration word on them and put them in a nice bowl or give them as gift. You could also use them around candles or make table fountains. If you are good with clay, you probably could use it there too. Lots of ideas here for you. Maybe you should just sent me some. LOL.

Well, you might consider converting the glass into a mosaic vase. maybe using the different colored glass to write the name of the beach or even do some custom work by putting your customers name on it.
here is a quick vid on how it’s done

Sea Glass makes for a beautiful and unique looking base in an aquarium. Looks a lot better than gravel. Maybe packaged pieces with enough in each package to cover the bottom of an average sized aquarium and sell as aquarium use product.
