Sea Glass -for centerpieces

Any of you ladies know where to find a pound of sea glass for under 1.99? I saw it at Michaels for 1.99 a bag, but i feel like you ladies will know of a place cheaper to get them.

Thanks!!!!

When i do the math, they are still 36 cents cheaper per bag to get them at the wholesale website. Thank you so much. I know it is only 36 cents, but it adds up!!!!

Don't forget about the cost of shipping! Unless it's included which would be very nice!

I used about 40 pounds (no freakin' joke) of sea glass for our e-party tables. I collected all of the glass myself on a few kayak trips to shores by our house. I used every color I found and it was beautiful! Everyone loved it and could not believe I found so much. But this secret little spot is full of it!!!! I'll post some pics of our tables. FM me if you would like to know where you can find some!

Re: Sea Glass -for centerpieces

That looks gorgeous. Actually, i added it up with the cost of shipping and the 36 cents each is the total discount per bag. A bag is a pound..

I think i'm going to buy them.

The sea glass is going on the bottom of our centerpieces. We are going to fill the vase three quarters of the way and put a couple of sea shells and a star fish on top. Coming out of the vase will be about 5 or six flowers. I'm thinking gerbera daisies or maybe calla lillies, i have to talk to the florist. I want to keep it inexpensive and i want the sea glass and 'beach scene' to stand out..

I'll send a pic when i'm done for opinions!!!!!

Thats my cp! We used 2 lbs per vase to fill it 3/4, and then we are putting about 12 calla lillies in each one, according to our florist, if we put floral lights under the glass, it will glow...we shall see

Oh WOW how great minds think alike. How much are you paying for the calla's though? I feel like they will make me go way over budget because they are so expensive. I am having them in my bouquets. I was thinking maybe sunflowers also. What do you think?

I honestly couldnt tell you what I am paying for my flowers, because I dont even know yet. Our florist is a family friend, shes going to charge us what she pays for flowers. What color glass are you doing? We are doing multi colored, so I want to stick to white flowers. Less is more kinda attitude. I think sunflowers might be a bit much, because they are so big, what about daisies?

They have mini sunflowers.. We'll see. I agree with you that if i use the big sunflowers, it would be too much. And,i love your idea on the daisies. Thanks..

we are using blue, clear and light blue sea glass. This way I can get away with yellow, blue and white flowers.

Blue white and yellow look so pretty together! If they have mini sunflowers go for it! Or maybe mix daisies and sunflowers...you can buy a couple of each and fool around with them yourself at home..thats what I did!
