| INSTRUCTIONS: |
| 1. Sort sea glass by color. Use complementary colors of glass or a single color for a monochromatic look. |
| 2. Glue sea glass to foam balls with small shells randomly interspersed, allowing very little space between pieces. (Note: Glass pieces will appear farther apart after spackling is applied.) |
| 3. Tint spackling compound with a small amount of tan paint, mixing until thoroughly blended. If desired, stir in small amounts of sand until the desired texture is achieved. |
| 4. Apply spackling to each orb, using your fingers to press compound into small crevices. Gently wipe off excess spackling on sea glass and shells with a clean damp sponge, leaving a smooth, even coat between pieces. Rinse your sponge often. |
| 5. Allow spackling to completely cure. |
| 6. Wipe sea glass and shells with a damp sponge to remove haze left by spackling residue. Let dry thoroughly and then buff each orb with a soft cloth. |
| 7. Tie raffia gift-wrap style around each orb and knot at center top. Trim raffia, gluing small seashells to random ends. |
