I have been wondering what I was going to do with all the teeny, tiny pieces of beach glass that we have been finding, other then sticking them in a container to look at. I saw this idea on One Pretty Thing. I didn't really read to see how she did it but I found some shadow box type frames at our local "dollar store", some card stock, the good old glue gun and beach glass. 
I drew an outline of a heart very lightly with a pencil and then I started gluing the glass. I found it easier to put the glue on the glass then you don't have all those strings from the glue going across your paper. 
Then I glued the paper to the backing of the frame. . .
I really like how these turned out. I made one for my mom for Mother's Day and one for Miss A's teacher who is retiring this year. Now I have to go find some more frames for me!
