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.
