One of the first things that comes to mind when we think about the beach is sea glass. And that’s probably because we’ve been collecting it since we were kids. There’s nothing like catching a glimpse of that frosty, smooth glass – like a little treasure! And rather than collecting it in a jar, we’re going to show you some fun and simple sea glass crafts you can make to use up your collection.
Keep these in mind the next time you are at the beach, and start collecting those little treasures.

Beach Glass Christmas Tree
Use up that collection of sea glass to make gorgeous trees which you won't be able to wait to display every holiday season.
Use a piece of driftwood and some invisible line to craft a lovely mobile to hang on the wall. We've used both pieces of seaglass and beach stones in the shape of rocks to craft this lovely piece.
Who wouldn’t love breakfast in bed when it was served on a beautiful sea glass mosaic tray? (I know, breakfast in bed would be great served on a sheet of paper!). This straightforward DIY tutorial from Sand and Sisal has us on the lookout for a great tray to work with.
We love how this completed project by the Country Chic Cottage looks. It would make such as nice reminder of the summer sitting on the fireplace mantle. Or to make one for each child’s bedroom door.
While not the center of attention, pieces of teal and white sea glass add a magical touch to this beautiful terrarium in a large glass. We've also used our beach glass to embellish this beach house scene, this driftwood tree art and driftwood candle holder.
We hope these easy sea glass crafts have inspired you to start collecting, or to use up your collection to make some beautiful pieces of art! Let us know if you’ve made anything with your sea glass collection.
