THE 9TH WEEK OF CHRISTMAS TURORITAL

IT'S DECEMBER 2ND WITH ONLY 23 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS DAY!

TODAY I HAVE A FUN PROJECT FOR YOU THAT YOU CAN MAKE AS GIFTS OR MAKE ONE TO KEEP FOR YOUR SELF

Glass Block Christmas decoration...I got my idea from Connie Babbert when she made these for Christmas a few years back. I added the lights to make it my own.

What you will need to make your own:

Glass Block: I bought mine from a local craft store $9.95

10-20- or 50 string of white lights with white cord; $3.95 for 50 light string. (I used 50 lights).

Stampin' Up! 3" x 3 5/8"De'cor Elements Jingle All the Way:  #114707 $3.50

De'cor Elements Applicator # 114825 $1.95

 Stampin' Up! Cherry Cobbler 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon:# 125056 $9.95

Glue and Glue Gun

Craft & Rubber Scissors #103179 $19.95

Remove label from glass block and wash and dry front side.

I placed my block so the white plastic cover was on the right side. This is so lights can be added: (Optional) Remove the white plastic plug from the block and cut a slit in the middle half way up. The light cord will fit nicely using this method.

This is how the Jingle all the way looks like out of the package. Directions are included

After turning the the De'cor Elements image over, using the applicator, gently rub the applicator over the image to transfer the image to the other side of the paper

Check as you go to make sure the image has transfered before placing on the glass block

Now, with the same motion, rub the applicator on the paper to transfer the image to the glass block

Gently remove the paper and check to make sure the image is completely transferring to the block. If not, place the paper over the image and rub with applicator

Finished block without lights

After adding the lights I wrapped Cherry Clobber 1 1/4" Striped Ribbon around the block like a package and used the glue gun to adhere to the block. I made a bow and glued it to the top of the block. View of glass block without the lights turned on

This is my favorite... it looks great during the day with the lights on but at night the decoration really is beautiful!
