Ornament Glass Block

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I purchased a few glass blocks last year to make Christmas gifts but I never had time to make one. Where did this year go! With Christmas Day fast approaching, I gathered the supplies and got busy! Glass block and lights were bought at Hobby Lobby. Ribbon and vellum were in my stash.

Cricut Cartridges:
Celebrate with Flourish - Ornament is cut 1.99" wide x 3" high using some solid papers that were in my scrap stash.
Christmas - Happy Christmas is cut 3" wide x 1.41" high.

Because I have only limited colors of vinyl, I chose to add the Cricut images to a piece of vellum which was then attached to the glass block with Memory Book glue dots. Vellum can be removed and the glass block can be decorated for other occasions. I like the looks of this without the strand of lights showing through. Also, it is pretty just sitting on a table when the lights are not being used.

Challenges:

  1. I like your idea of being able to re-use your glass block. You did such a fabulous job of decorating it. The ornament is pretty and this is so festive and fun!

  2. What a great idea for the glass blocks! I always see them in the store and would love to do something with them. I never thought to use my Cricut! Very pretty design too!

  4. What a pretty centerpiece. I am sure it looks great by day or night. I just read about using the velumn to put the pieces on and removing to replace with another scene. Great idea. I too, have some blocks just gathering dust.... oh well.
