These are extremely cute and cheap to make. I used sparkles for this demonstration but in the past I have used my favorite paint for the backs. For this project you will need clear flat glass marbles (you can find them at any craft store), clear adhesive glue, flat sides thumb tacks, and a glue gun.

1) Apply the adhesive to the flat side of the marbles and then sprinkle the sparkles onto the glue. Let dry for two hours. Once dry, tap off the access sparkles. If you prefer to use paint, brush the paint onto the flat side of the marbles.

2) Heat up the glue gun and apply a small amount to the tack, immediately apply to the flat side of the marble. Repeat for the remaining tacks.
These would go great in a little tin box or jar as a gift. Finish it off with some ribbon and your all set for an easy gift to a host of a party or a co-worker. Also, if you want to change it up, you can add magnets to the back instead of tacks. |
