Instructions

Showcase Your Sea Glass to Sell It

1. Bring a sea glass collection to a craft fair or festival to showcase or sell. There are some organized events held specifically for sea glass that bring collectors together to share and showcase their sea glass.

2. Arrange sea glass on pieces of black felt or velvet to offset the color of the glass.

3. Collect a variety of small mirrors and arrange sea glass on them for an interesting display.

4. Think of an interesting name for your collection, especially if you are selling pieces from it. A name that draws attention to your table will also draw attention to the sea glass collection.

Decorate Your Home with Sea Glass

1. Use a hollow glass lamp base to fill with various pieces of colored sea glass, and use it to illuminate the colors of the glass when the lamp is lit.

2. Find a variety of glass bottles or vases with wide openings. Fill each bottle with different colored pieces from your sea glass collection and place them around your house. This looks especially nice on windowsills, because streaming sunlight will illuminate the transparent glass.

3. Arrange the sea glass in a shadow box by supergluing pieces along with additional beach items to create a creative showcase.

Make a Personal Display

1. Make a necklace or earrings from pieces of sea glass. Use jewelry stands to hang created pieces for full-time display.

2. Wear especially creative or unique jewelry pieces to showcase a sea glass collection and a personal flair for interesting fashion.

3. Start a trend by lending or gifting sea glass jewelry items to friends. This will help you show off pieces of your collection to a wider audience.

4. Take a pair of old, plain sandals and use super-glue to adhere small, interesting pieces of sea glass to them. This will brighten up an older item while exposing part of your collection to others.

Tips & Warnings

• When using super-glue, be sure to set the glue on a safe surface, such as a sheet of newspaper. Wash your hands thoroughly after use.
