Marbling things

VintageBelle

Hi all

Last year my mom bought a marbling kit from a craft show. We have had a quick go with it but haven't done anything since as we don't really know what to marble. They did demos at the craft show, but we want to make things as gifts (without it being too tacky looking). We are going to marble some large plain beads, but other than that we aren't really sure what to do and don't want to waste it. Can you marble onto glass?

Has anyone got any cool suggestions?

Cheers :beer:

Yes, you can marble glass!! Use a plastic bag and you will get an amazing effect!! Just remember to let each coat of paint dry overnight before adding more effects. On sheets of flat glass do your effect first then add a coat of paint as the 'backing'. Don't forget you can use your marbling stuff for other effects such as dragging, rag rolling, wood graining and true marble effects as well as coloured marbled finishes.

Brilliant thanks as I wondered about marbling jam jars to make tea light holders :T
