A few weeks ago I posted about how to make bubble magnets from those clear marbles that you can find at dollar stores. We had a church activity where we were told to bring a glass item. Then we all sat down & glued these same pebbles to our glass items. I just used a salad bowl I got at the thrift shop for $1.50, the pebbles & glue were practically free. You could assembly line a lot of these gifts for practically nothing. Getting the pebbles to stick was a little exasperating, it’s a good thing we are not a swearing people. Super glue for glass worked the best. Another hint is to place the glue on the stone & let it set up for a few seconds before trying to place it on the glass. These aren’t dishwasher safe, but they would make great Christmas presents. We did bowls, vases, stemware, votives, candleholders, anything glass. You can do this in random patterns, or even just around the rim of the bowl. For a more elegant look, try using the clear glass pebbles. I’m addicted to gluing these baubles (they really should make a name for these, any suggestions would be appreciated) on everything in sight. I need some sort of support group to quit. Works for me!
