Hi,
Glue together in a block to make plant pot cover or to hold kitchen utensils or paint brushes etc. - Add them into a garden wall for interest. Make a Work of Art- Sculpture by sticking them together in an interesting way to be used inside or out on a Plinth....
They make great-looking bookends.

Hi Nona😊
I really like those glass blocks, and have been wondering how I might use them in interesting ways also. If they need cleaning, be sure to use a solution or product that won't affect the glass surface.
They'd make Beautiful candle holders for the lights(natural or battery type),plain or colorful. Those tiny battery type 'Fairy Lights' mixed in with coloured glass pebbles or marbles make a lovely display for special occasions! My Mom used them as planters for small live plants, however faux plants including succulents and flowers look great also in real soil for some natural effect and are carefree; or
sandy soil for live cacti. Obviously, I've been thinking about many ways to use those great glass blocks, and I hope that You will enjoy Your projects
and share the beauty!👍😊
