Light Up Present

Supplies:
2 inch ribbon
Glass block
Glue gun & glue sticks
String of lights
Drill bit for glass

I always have loved these glass light up present boxes ever since I saw them at a craft show many years ago. My Mom and I made a bunch at the time but since I have moved out on my own I didn't have one for my home. Luckily I found an extra block kicking around so I constructed my own on Friday night!

These glass blocks are used in bathrooms or homes to let light in but are very blurred so you cannot see right through. I had mine kicking around but if are searching to purchase one, Home Depot sells something that may work like this: glass block window (click for link).

With your glass block, drill a 1 inch hole into the block using a drill bit for glass.

Plug in the glue gun and cut 2 strips of 2" ribbon to go around the box. Secure the strips going criss cross with hot glue gun.

For the top bow I found a super easy tutorial at Healthy Living How To (click for link).

After construction of the bow I secured it to the top of the box and stuffed in my strand of battery operated LED lightbulbs. It looks so beautiful at night. I'm so happy to have one in my home now.

Happy Christmas crafting!
