What is something creative I can do with marbles?

Answer 1

...make mosaics, or drink coasters, etc.

...make "cracked marbles" (by putting in hot water... see more here:
http://glassattic.com/polymer/MISC.htm
......click on CRACKED MARBLES, under Marbles
......you can then use them to make jewelry, little critters, etc., or in other ways)

...make hollow forms from clay by covering half a marble with clay, baking or drying depending on the type of clay... then removing, and sanding on sandpaper if necessary to make a smooth rim... then use as is, or put two of them together to create a hollow ball... decorate more perhaps
(more info on doing that with polymer clay here:
http://glassattic.com/polymer/beads.htm
........click on LENTILS, under Hollow...)

......make your own ramps, chutes, etc., for a "marble-race-type" gravity toy

......make or find things-to-knock-over for "shooting marbles"

....create a game or game board that involves marbles (like Chinese Checkers)

Answer 2

At college, my class built 'Marble Machines'.
The purpose was to build a device that could transport a marble from 6 foot high to the ground taking as interesting and long route as possible.
Some of the results were fantastic. They even got on to a TV show.

Answer 3

Well, To do something creative with marbles, Id take like a hammer, and break them into little colored shards, and fill the bottom of a fishtank, or fountain, or something with them. An empty fishtank that is..Just for show, and add little things to it or whatever. The marble pieces sparkle and its so pretty. Hope this helps! Ily.
