There’s something mighty satisfying about turning the plainest little dollar-store find into something that looks like it washed up on a lakeshore. This project uses a simple ice cube tray and hot glue to make faux sea glass gems that catch the light beautifully once they’re finished. It’s easy, inexpensive, and just the sort of craft I love keeping on hand for an afternoon when I want to make something pretty without hauling out half the house.
I especially like this one for folks who enjoy simple home décor crafts and don’t mind a little hands-on finishing work. The magic here isn’t in the pouring alone — it’s in the last step that changes the whole look. These gems are for decorating only, not for small children because they’re a choking hazard, and they should be kept away from heat sources.
