Cage Your Marbles

[Pawnee1]

Morning All, I have had a few member interested in how I make my caged marble pendent, so I've put the how - to in my gallery (Pawnee1) for all to have fun with. It is better to cage your marbles before you lose them.

Those are pretty cool, I'll have to try that out. Christmas coming right up and presents are needed.

Thanks!

What size marble are you using. A regular playing marble or the shooter.

Morning Gen. Lee, My marble are small from 3/8" to 9/16" but I've got a lot of them that I'ld rather sell then loose. On the smaller ones twist more to cage then. Have fun and take care. Pawnee

Got another question before I try these. What type of finish did you put on it since the marble is already inside?

Thanks

Mornig Gen. Lee, I spray a clear Acrylic with two coats. The pendent will rust, if someone has white shirt, blouse or sweater on rust would rub off and it's not good, so the acrylic. I do the same for towel racks, actually 3 coats. Hope that helps. Have fun and take care.

Pawnee, how'd you get that name in Idaho? I live in the middle of the old Pawnee lands (prior to 1885) near the Loup, Platte, and Republican Rivers in Nebraska. Just curious.
