Plain Glass Block to Glowing St. Patrick's Day Decor (2 Options)
3 Materials
$5
10 Minutes
Easy
Creating a seasonal look in your home doesn't have to be hard. Just a few simple items put together can create ambiance in your home. This project is easy, great for decorations, party craft, or a gift.
There are 2 options for this project.
Option #1 you'll need:
Glass Block - (mine came from Walmart, but you can find them online, craft stores, or hardware stores.)
A strand of white or green lights - (Dollar Tree)
Contact Paper
Gel Window Clings (Walmart)
Measure your contact paper on your block.
Cut out a square shape that fits your glass block.
Place your gel window clings on the contact paper on the glass block.
Place your gel window clings on the contact paper on the glass block.
Crafting blocks come with a hole in them. Place your strand of lights in the glass block. If you'd rather, you can use battery operated lights.
Plug/turn your lights on and you're done.
Option #2 you'll need:
Glass Block - (mine came from Walmart, but you can find them online, craft stores, or hardware stores.)
A strand of shamrock lights - (Dollar Tree)
Contact Paper
Wall Stickers (Dollar Tree)
Place the Wall Sticker directly on the glass. I didn't use the contact paper for this one.
Add your shamrock lights.
Turn it on and enjoy!
We use ours as a night light in a bathroom. We leave it on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It doesn't get too hot.
