Ideas for projects using semi-precious stones
I have accumulated a box fill, and would love some creative ideas on what to do with them.
The quantity I have is about half a yard square.

Lee Cunningham Green on May 18, 2015Here is a simple thing and it can be quite beautiful, you can mount them onto a framed piece of wood in almost anysize, I did this with seashells for above a door I polyed them but you don't have to do that, and then you can see and touch the stones whenever you want. I will take a picture and post it so you can see what I mean.Helpful Reply

Denise Hardy on May 20, 2015You could also use some to put onto picture frames as well as a mirror. You could also perhaps, if you like the idea to display them in a coffee table, where there is glass on top and storage under the glass? Have a look at the table in the picture and you will see what I mean. Very Beautiful stones :) At least you've got plenty of ideas to go at :) Forgot to say that this table is from Ikea :)Helpful Reply

India Em Artist Author on May 20, 2015How about a tray, like a snack tray with all sides/breakfast in bed tray, patio tray: line with your gems tight then get an apoxy kit "2 tubes you need to mix", from the craft store and pour over the stones till you have a level flat top. You could get an old tray and spray paint the tray first.Helpful Reply

Lauren on May 21, 2015If you had the time, a backsplash in your kitchen or bathroom would be really cool! Also, my sister will fill up glass bowls from the dollar store with seashells and they end up looking like very pretty decorations. You could do something like that.Helpful Reply
