16+ fun sea glass craft ideas
Over the past few years, my kids and I have collected a fair amount of sea glass & river glass, so I went digging for inspiration on how to use it in a craft! There is something my crow brain loves about looking through all the rocks and spotting something that doesn’t fit – it’s both picking up trash and finding treasure. Keep in mind that if you haven’t found enough seaglass to make the craft you like, remember you can buy it on Etsy as well!
Our local river is a treasure trove for finding sea glass; I hate that it ever ends up in the water but I love digging it out!
