    The most common use I have seen is to put them in glass vases...and use them as filler for other decor projects.

    I have seen a post where they are placed into wooden privacy fence/gates to allow the sun to shine through.

    If you can, place some between two pieces of glass and frame. Then hang in front of a window with sunlight shinning through.

    Many years ago I placed marbles in a hot skillet , left them for a few minutes, then put them in ice water to shatter the insides. I had a small table and glued them onto the top. Made a pretty little plant table. Good luck!

    I've seen cement stepping stones made where the marbles are imbedded in the cement.

    If you have a stairway, you could place them in a long clear plastic tube and use that as a handrail along the stairway. Or like a rope light, line the back of an open shelf with light and marbles.

    Ghana for all you great suggestions, but nothing as "clicked" yet. Am I impossible to please and don't know what I want? That might be part of the problem, but can you humor me a bit more please. Thanks. :-)
