Christmas Glass Block Luminaries...Handcrafted!

I created these Glass Block Luminaries, which are rather easy to make.  I've also opened up a  brand new Etsy site, where I am selling these, among some of my other holiday, Christmas items.  They include the light sets, and if necessary the batteries.  Some of the Glass Blocks are shown with LED lights, which tend to be a bit more costly.  If you see one you like with the LED lights, and would prefer the regular. clear, mini lights, let me know, and that will bring the cost down by about $7.00.  The blocks are purchased at a local craft store, and have the holes in back.  My boyfriend is currently in the process of drilling some Glass Blocks purchased from the hardware store.  He hasn't broken a one, "knock on wood", yet.  And he's not even using a drill press....only a power drill, and a drill bit designed for glass and tiles.  

I posted these two in an earlier post.

For this Christmas Dove Glass Block, I stamped the image from Stampin' Up Gifts of Christmas, using Black Stazon ink onto a cut piece of acetate.  Then I filled the dove in with some Crystal Effects on the reverse side, and sprinkled on some Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

When dry, I gently rolled the acetate, and placed it into the Glass Block.  This one is just GORGEOUS!

Clear White Mini Lights: $25.00

 

Vintage Glass Block

This is a smaller block, it measures 5 1/2"x 5 1/2".

It really compliments the Verde Glass Block, as in a set.

I will gladly combine any of the Glass Blocks as a set, for a reduced cost.

I recently changed the lights in this block to some Green LED lights, and it looks fabulous!

But the LED lights are much brighter, and really threw off too much light for a photo.

But, as I said earlier, you do have your choice, if wanting to purchase any of the Glass Block Luminaries.

The Designer Paper I used for this Glass Block, is Stampin' Up Holiday Lounge.  This, too is the smaller of the blocks, measuring 5 1/2" x 5 1/2".  This is the same Designer Papers used in the "Joy" Glass Block, so they will coordinate nicely together as a set.
