After seeing a nice walkway made with beach glass I have been trying to figure out how to do something similar myself. I decided I needed a tumbler in order to make the quantity of glass that would be needed. Luckily, by searching the ‘net, I found someone else who did just that!

I think this would be great for DIY projects such as walkways, mosaics, and other random stuff.
