Cracked Marble Pendants

I found this idea on Dream-It-Make-It and had to try it for myself.  My favorite part of the project was seeing and hearing the "fried" marbles suddenly crack yet remain intact.  Here is the very simple tutorial:

Materials Needed:
Clear marbles
Bead caps
Metal wire
Clear craft glue

Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F)
- Place the marbles on a metal cookie sheet and bake for 20 mins.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, place them in a sink filled with ice water.
- Let dry.
- Twist wire into a loop shape and press ends into bead cap, cut wire ends.
- Glue bead cap to marble.  Attach to a chain for necklace or ear wires for earrings.
