okay it's easy, beautiful and useful... its a glass tealight holder..

I have been collecting pieces of sea glass(softened by water) for a bit now, and I've got quite alot... SO here's what I started to do and hopefully you can do it to if you've got glass...

okay so Ii got my coat hanger wire, thin bendy copper jewellery wire, scissors/wire cutters and the glass... I cut and bent the hanger wire into two small equal sized squares. (wide enough for a tealight)
then, I attached the wire to the hanger bottom square and left alot free, and I did this alot so theres alot of copper wire.
Then I took the wire and bent it around the glass, and around other pieces of glass, and all over like a cobweb, with each 'strand' of wire. So theres a web of wire and caught in the web are a whole bunch of pieces of glass.. then I attached the other square at the other end of the twisted, glassy wire, to its 2 squares, bottom and top rim.
I can look for a picture online to show you, cuz I know this isnt an original idea...
Just thought I'd share in case someone couldnt decide what to do with their glass.

 

It would be great if you could post a pic of this. I have a ton of sea glass and access (for a week or so) to a beach full!!! I have been collecting and have some pretty pieces and figured i would make them into jewelry but it's always nice to have other uses.
