When it comes to craft projects, glass blocks are amazingly versatile. There are so a lot of fun and interesting ways to embellish with them in each room of the house.

Once you could only find glass or art deco blocks at home betterment centers. There were solid and in order to put lights or objects inside, you had to use a big drill bit and a perplexed routine to get them “open” – if you choose to do this – consider hiring this out to a professional. Now you may find glass bricks conveniently at your local crafts store with one side left open. You may even use these fantasti finds as vases. They are in general available in two sizes and I’ve seen them available all year.

Take a look at these top 10 ways to use lighted glass bricks to fetch soft illumination, charm, and beauty to your home.

1. Faux gifts – Fill two bricks with Christmas lights. One must be littler than the other. Stack them and then tie a huge ribbon around the stack, completing the look with a bow on top. Voila, you have “gift boxes” for embellishing for the duration of the holidays or plainly for each day. (Or how cool for a baby shower or wedding!) Place the lit glass bricks under the tree, next to potted plants, on a windowsill or mantel, or decorate the foyer with them to welcome your guests.
2. Paint the outside of a block with a design that will fit into your embellishing scheme for that room. Put lights inside and you have added charm to the space!
3. Nightlight – fantasti idea for a child’s room. Add decals, stickers, or a painted scene on one side of the glass brick. Insert Christmas lights inside. Place on a shelf or dresser and turn on at night for your child. They’ll love it!
4. Create a lighted village display – glass blocks may effortlessly be transformed into a little village display. Paint each as a building – the post office, library, church, house, etc. Add fabric and other accents to make the glass squares look like the building it depicts. Fill each “building” with a string of Christmas lights and you have a lighted village display! This is a fun project to finish with your kids.
5. Decorative paperweights – another way to embellish with glass bricks is to turn a little one into a ornamental paperweight. Add your bestloved ornamentations or paint the block to match your office decor. The weight of your creation is perfective for keeping papers in place.
6. Wedding decor – glass bricks with lights, tulle, and ribbon look utterly stunning at a wedding reception. Fill the glass brick with lights. Attach finelooking organza or wired ribbon around the edge of the brick. Nestle the bricks into mounds of “billowing” tulle and you have a finelooking decoration for your gift table, foyer, feed table, cake table, or any other space you like.
7. Window decor – rather of the traditionalisti candles, place one lighted block into your window. It will illumine the room softly and will look beauteous from the outside as well.
8. Welcome sign – spell out the word “welcome” with glass bricks. These would be a perfective addition to a foyer or nursery. Or spell out other messages like “believe”, “faith”, “joy”, etc.
9. Lighted stand/base – embellish with blocks in any room of the house by using one as a stand or base for a display. Place a glass brick filled with a Christmas light string on a flat surface. Put little items on top of it such as little collectibles, candles (in another container), a vase of flowers, a little lamp, or anything else that would look pretty sitting a bit higher and illuminated.
10. Ambiance – add a bit of romantic lighting to the master bedroom with a few lighted glass bricks strategically placed around the room. Decorate with ribbon to match your decor.
11. As you may see, there are a good deal of future prospects or potentials when it comes to projects involving glass bricks. Let these ideas just be a starting off point for your home decoration and gift giving list.

Very nice for the price
By Morgan
I actually expected for “good wishes” to be on the item, but it wasn’t – still a good buy and nice gift.
