Material's Needed:
1 Glass block (I purchased mine at Hobby Lobby. They already have the holes drilled in them).
Scrapbook paper to fit the block
Mod Podge
50 strand of clear Lights (you can use any color. Totally up to you).
Ribbon that coordinates with your scrapbook paper.
Marbles
Procedure:
I cut my scrapbook paper to fit the block. I then put a coat of mod podge on one side of the block. I then took my cut piece of scrapbook paper and placed it on the block (when I laid my paper on the block I did it to wear you could see the print from the other side. That way you would get a 3-D image. I then used my cricut and cut out vinyl letters, EX: Mom, sister. I placed the word on the other side of the block. I then filled my block with lights and marbles. This part is completely your own preference.
At this point, your block should resemble the picture below:
Now all I have to do is make a bow with my coordinating ribbon and hot glue it on to the top of the light block.
Plug it in and you now have a beautiful decoration for your home or office !
(Here is another light block that my business partner made for her cousins wedding,
they make wonderful wedding gift)
I loved how these lights turned out. I can't wait to make more. I will soon make one for my boys room to match their camo theme. I will post a picture after I make it. I hope you enjoyed this short tutorial. I will make sure I take pictures step by step next time. We will also be adding this block to A little 2 Sassy for purchase. Thank you again!
