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.

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. Add some fancy calligraphy on the agate for a finishing piece of art! I love the shimmery gold and the sparkly crystals! They glisten and sparkle. Great for gifts and wall decor!
