If you love a little coastal color on your table, shelf, or wedding day, bulk sea glass is one of the easiest craft supplies to keep on hand. The soft frosted look works for big weekend projects and small afternoon makes alike. You don't need fancy tools to get started, just a tray of tumbled beach glass, a bit of glue, and an idea you like.
1. Resin art and coasters. Pour a clear resin coaster or tray and nestle frosted sea glass into the wet surface. Mix colors for a beachy look, or stick to one shade like aqua or cobalt.
2. Mosaic trays and boxes. Glue tumbled sea glass onto a wooden tray, jewelry box, or frame. Work in small sections, and fill tiny gaps with smaller chips for a full, polished look.
3. Wire-wrapped jewelry (no drilling). Wrap a pretty piece with thin jewelry wire to make a pendant or earring dangle. The wrap holds the glass without drilling. This is a great use for small sea glass.
4. Vase and jar fillers. Fill a clear vase, jar, or candle hurricane for instant coastal decor. Add a candle or greenery on top for a quick centerpiece.
5. Picture frames and mirrors. Outline a plain frame with beach glass for a personal gift. Let it dry flat overnight.
6. Beach wedding decor. Scatter sea glass down a table runner, fill favor jars, or tuck pieces into place-card holders. Soft blues, greens, and whites look lovely in photos.
7. Garden stepping stones. Press flatter pieces into wet concrete molds for a path that catches the light.
8. Shadow boxes and wall art. Arrange the glass by color in a shadow box, or glue it onto a canvas for simple wall art.
Tips before you start: Rinse the glass in warm water and let it dry completely so glue sticks well. Sorting by color makes mosaics and resin pours look intentional, and many crafters keep bowls for aqua, green, white, brown, and cobalt. Our glass is a frosted, tumbled mix gathered from several sources and hand-sorted by color and size, which makes it easy to pull the shades you need for each project. E6000 or a clear epoxy holds sea glass well to wood, glass, and metal. Start small with a jar filler or a single coaster, then grab more mixed bulk sea glass for bigger projects.
