Framed Agate Slices!

Framed Agate Slices! Make a fabulous and natural piece of art for decor! You will need agate slices.  These range in sizes and price. I use gold gilding liquid leaf from Plaid Then paint the edges of all the agates in glimmering gold! You will also need some simple frames. I painted mine white with paint from Plaid Crafts. Then replace the glass in the frame and a white piece of paper inside. Then use a little hot glue and glue the agate slice right on the top of the glass.
