So this weekend, with our outdoor activities still thwarted by rain, I decided it was time to find some craft project we could make with all the crystals.
I had some craft wire and tulle from the girls' old dance costumes that we used to turn the rocks into necklaces.
The tulle was great for covering up our less-than neat twists of the craft wire at the ends.
And then G. made a "princess" headband that she was quite smitten with.
We still have a whole lot of larger rocks left in our bag and L. decided to use them to make some new fairy houses in the backyard this week.
I'm glad we found some creative uses for the quartz we found at Mt. Apatite. Now if we could just figure out what to do with the all the buckets and bags of sea shells and other rocks they've collected over the years, they might have some space to actually play in that playroom.
If you have any craft ideas with rocks and sea shells, we'd love to hear about it.
