Great Value and Good Quality

These clear glass, flat-bottomed marbles are a terrific value AND quality. They came quickly and there were only 1 broken one and two that were fused together in a large mass. The rest (approx 200+ marbles) were perfect. They are nice and clear; they are also fairly close to the same size. I am very pleased.

Just what I wanted in terms of description and amount ...

Just what I wanted in terms of description and amount. They arrived on-the-dot. The plastic-woven bag was broken and some spilled out, but they were contained within the box....so, JFYI.

Quick, Easy, and Invisible Help

Since I got onto my computer this morning precisely to order more of these Dashington clear marbles which help a flower arranger in a number of different ways, I can certainly say that I think highly of them. Why didn't I think of this earlier? After all, I used marbles in the past. A couple of decades ago my contribution to friends' birthdays and weddings and such was to bring flower arrangements, but at that time, while we had a large rose garden we had little money, and so I deliberately used blue and green marbles to hide the arranging foam or to "lift the bottom" of a clear glass vase to make the stems of the flowers seem much longer than they were. By now, however, we have vases which are at least as beautiful as the dahlias I've been playing with, so I would not want to distort the color. Nor can I easily cram foam into vases so narrow and tall (I've tried, and mostly just make a mess for the day when I'll need to change the water or dump the flowers). Rather, I found I can use these marbles which appear quite invisible in the vases to perform the other functions of lifting the bottom of the vases and giving me a way to gently push the flower stems into a very simple design. Nor is it only for friends. I use them for myself after a busy day in the garden and the task goes much more quickly. All in all I downright love them!

Look good and reasonably priced.

There is not too much to say about these, they are good. The are slightly larger than some I had previously bought at Hobby Lobby, but that is what I was looking for. I am using them to “plant’ ivy in a flat vase, and they look good.

Worked perfectly for my project!

I love these. Out of the whole bag, there were probably about a dozen that I deemed unsatisfactory but I'm happy with them. We have three light fixtures that i wadsn't sure flowed with the others in the house that had glass accents on them. I used these flat marbles to glue onto, with clear aquarium glue in a pattern, these other blah fixture covers. They now look like they're all part of a deliberate collection and the light catches them nicely.

Great, Cheap Stones

I purchased these stones for my rehearsal dinner to put inside mason jars with floating candles. They worked and looked great. They are smooth around the edges and looked nicely transparent in the jars. They worked perfectly for an outdoor BBQ.

Exactly what we wanted.

We used them for our wedding center pieces and they were exactly what we wanted. We bought 9"x3" vases from dollar tree online for a $1 each and 2 packs of 10 submergible led lights from Amazon. We placed the led lights at the bottom of the vases, a handful of the clear marbles on top of the led, then artificial cherry blossom branches and filled the vases with water. They came out great. I would upload pics but the add photo button isn't working.

Gorgeous Stones

These are GORGEOUS. And there are much more than I had anticipated. I used them to portray water droplets on lilly pads for a water fairy costume and they were perfect! But truly, these would work for almost any craft purpose. To fill up space in a jar or vase, to line a fish tank, stepping stones, other arts and crafts. Just truly beautiful stones. I'll make great use of the lot, and I'm sure I'll be ordering more in different colors.

Quality

These are just what I ordered. I used them in a dry flower arrangement and it looks so nice. This order is the second as I was very impressed with the first. Every marble was perfect, none damaged. Thanks.

Perfect to fill vases !!

I ordered these to fill flower vases for center peices. The bag makes them look cloudy but they are not. They are perfectly clear and look great! I will be ordering a few more bags for the rest of the center peices!
