Beautifully compliments floral arrangements and DIY light displays Adding decorative marbles to a vase, jar, frame, or mixed media craft project brings a unique charm that such a simple accessory rarely brings. These translucent gems allow light to pass through entirely -- adding illumination and shimmering reflection to any table setting or design project. Oval shaped with flat bottoms, and sold in five lb. quantities. Each bag will provide you with roughly 500-600 gems measuring about ¾” (the size of a nickel). They are an eye-catching accessory that will look just as impressive scattered across as a tablecloth as they will act as brilliant filler for glass containers, aquariums, mason jars, and birdbaths. A little imagination goes a long ways with these decorative marbles From candlescapes, tea lights, and garden treasure jars, to decorative borders for frames, mirrors, and even stained glass panels. Another overlooked benefit that gems and marbles such as these provide is acting as a literal lifesaver to bees that are only looking to get a drink of water. Scatter the gems along the bottom of the bath/fountain and fill water slightly below the marble’s upper surface. Bees are dying everywhere -- no need to exasperate things for our pollinating friends. Mix these gems with other colorful marbles and stones to create vibrant bases and arrangements. Gentle washing before use is recommended We recommend washing these marbles before use to remove any dust, dirt, or other residue collected during transport. With proper handling, these marbles should last for an entire lifetime. You do not need to be super crafty to appreciate the usefulness and DIY value of these beautiful gems. Use them repeatedly for eye-catching decorations on bookshelves, in terrariums and planters, or placed inside vases serving as table centerpieces at your next party or social event. Note: vase not included.
