Materials Needed

Step 1: Selecting Agate Slices
To start off, visit your local craft store or search online for a wide variety of agate slices. Agate slices come in various colors and patterns, allowing you to choose the ones that best match the aesthetic you desire for your drink stirrers. Consider selecting agate slices that complement your glassware or the theme of your event.
Step 2: Preparing the Stirrer
Take the metallic wire stirrers and carefully straighten them using jewelry pliers. Ensure that they are long enough to comfortably fit into your drink glasses. This step is important as it provides a sturdy base for attaching the agate slices later on.
Step 3: Attaching the Agate Slices
Using a hot glue gun, apply a small amount of glue onto the flat side of an agate slice. Securely press the wire stirrer onto the glue, making sure it is centered. Hold it in place for a few seconds until the glue sets and the agate slice is firmly attached to the stirrer. Repeat this process for each agate slice and allow them to fully dry before handling.
Step 4: Final Touches
Once the agate slices are completely dry and secure, you can add your own personal touch. Consider embellishing the stirrers with additional decorative elements such as small charms or beads. This will add extra flair and uniqueness to your agate crystal drink stirrers.
