I Found My Marbles, and Some Cool ways to Reuse and Recycle them..

Recycle This is an amazing blog about how to reuse and recycle anything. Just ask the question. Recently, a question about marbles came up and I had to tune in.

Some of the reader ideas and creative suggestions included:

  • gathering them up for a backyard project by placing them for stepping stones outside for a colorful zen garden.
  • using a huge washing-up bowl with loads of marbles, filling it with hot water, essential oils and soaking your feet for a footsie massage by rolling them over the marbles.

Any more more suggestions? These are pretty creative. I like the idea of using them in garden sculptures, ikebana centerpieces, or using them in artwork, like something as simple as a still life.

  1. I like colorful marbles in a clear glass jar or vase. A nice thing to look at on a window sill. Or you could set a votive holder in a short wide square vase with marbles filling in the space around the votive holder and light them up with a tealight inside. I’ve done it with seaglass instead of marbles and it makes a beautiful centerpiece.
