Sure, everyone wants to give a cool gift. With all the weddings, holidays, & birthdays this can get expensive. Even if you aren't a crafter you can create awesome gifts for next to nothing.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • superglue
  • craft marbles
  • glassware
  1. Step 1

    Pick up a selection of glassware at a local thrift store. You can decorate stemware or even vases.

  2. Step 2

    Clean the glassware & make sure it is dry.

  3. Step 3

    Choose your craft marble of choice. These are available at the dollar store. Craft marbles are like a regular marble but they have one flat side. You can use clear glass marbles for an elegant look. You can even use sea glass.

  4. Step 4

    Glue the glass marbles to the glassware. This is trickier then it might sound. If the superglue isn't working try putting it on the marble & let it set up for a few seconds before affixing it to the glass. You can even try a craft epoxy.
