DIY Glass Cracked GemsI tend to collect craft supplies and often forget exactly what I have. When I recently came across a bunch of flat backed clear glass stones so I thought it would be fun to turn them into something that could be used for jewelry or other craft projects. I’ve actually used these glass stones before to create glitter gems. With just a few simple steps and supplies you can make these eye-catching glass cracked gems.DIY Cracked Crafting

Directions for Making DIY Cracked Glass Stones and Gems

Step 1: Place glass gems on a baking sheet and put into the oven, heated to 425 degrees, for 20 minutes.Cracked Glass Stones for Crafting and JewelryStep 2. A few minutes before the gems are done baking, put some water and ice in a bowl.

Step 3. As soon as the stones are done baking put them into the ice water. The gems will crack immediately. CAUTION: Wear protective eyewear in the rare case a gem explodes when you put it into the water. It’s highly unlikely this would happen, but always good to be cautious. Cracked Glass Stones for Crafting and JewelryCracked Glass Stones for Crafting and JewelryStep 4.

    1. Yes! You could use acrylic paint too, you might just need to add more than one coat.

  1. Love this idea! They are really pretty. Question/ Do you think they would be good for a Ladies Retreat project. I was thinking maybe a keychain. Don’t know which size or if they would be too heavy.?

  2. I used to do this with marbles. My sisters and I had so much fun. We put them in a pan on stove to heat them up then into cold water. We loved when they cracked. We made necklaces with them. I like your idea of putting in oven. I love your idea of the clear stone and painting them. You post brought back a great memory for me. Now I’m going to do some for my granddaughters. Thank you.
