Lighted Glass Block

Hey Everyone,
LisaB from Rather B Scrappin

This month I wanted to share an easy project. I did a Christmas design but you can use this for a birthday party or even a nightlight for your children. 

Start with a glass block. I got mine at Hobby Lobby. This is the small of the 2 they sale. 


I used Armour Etch to give the glass a frosted look. I etched both sides.

Not sure if this picture does it justice but it has a nice frosted look


I then cut out my saying with vinyl. I peeled off the top layer, leaving the saying on the backing.

I use contact paper as my transfer tape to add it to the glass block. 

I put small mini lights in the bottom of the glass block.



Here it is all lit up. 

I tried to get a good picture with it the lights off



I hope I was able to inspire you today! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the Bugbytes
Until next time!

  4. This is one of my favorite sayings! You did a really nice job on this block. I have to say that etching cream scares me, but I love the look of it! Congrats on a beautiful project.

  7. I really love this. I have never doing etching and would love to do this. Some questions for this beginner: Is there somehow I can download the saying, tree and star from your site? If not what font did you sure? Do you have a special printer to print on vinyl? Where do you get the vinyl? Thank Lori.
