Introduction: Baked Marbles

How to make these amazingly awesome cracked marbles.

All you need:

  • Some kids playing marbles
  • Ice water
  • An oven

Step 1: Baking Those Marbles

Simply take your standard every day kids playing marble.
I stumbled across the box of them i had as a kid...and subsequently organised them by colour.

  1. Preheat your oven to around 200 degrees celsius.
  2. Put marbles into oven.
  3. Wait 20 minutes (roughly, you may find you need longer or less time depending on your oven)
  4. Prepare bowl of water, in a plastic bowl! and a bit before taking marbles out throw in a handful or two of ice cubes
    *Be SUPER careful, some marbles will probably crack as the act of being so hot to so cold causes some of the weaker ones to break* This can potentially go flying and is therefore a danger to the eyes* (Never happened to me but you just don't know)
  5. Pour all marbles into ice water
  6. Listen to that sweet crackle

Step 2: All Done!

Carefully scoop them out, they will be more fragile so if you drop one on a hard floor it will smash to pieces, but aside from weak ones they aren't too bad.

Step 3: Now Go Forth!

And figure out what you can do with them
