Lighted Christmas Block - Ginger Snap Crafts

Hi! I'm Ginger, & I blog over at Ginger Snap Crafts. 
It's a fun place where I share my easy, simple & cute crafty ideas & projects. 
{Would love to have YOU drop by sometime!}  
{Ginger Snap Crafts}
It's such an honor to be over here at
Sugar Bee Crafts. 
Today I'd love to share my cute & easy{lighted} Christmas block.
{Supplies}
glass block
vinyl cut outs*
holiday ribbon
mini Christmas light set
*I made these using my Silhouette clip art & software.
Make sure you clean your block & remove any labels or price tags. 
Then you just start layering your vinyl. 
You put on solid red, green or white squares on first. 
Then add a decorative overlay, and finally you'll put the letters on last. 
Then you remove the cap on the bottom & put your mini Christmas lights inside. 
Leave the plug hanging out of course. 
Add a festive ribbon & then plug in!  That's it!  :)
Would love to have you over to Ginger Snap Crafts!
           On my blog you'll also find some more fun tutorials.
Like these:

I've also have a fun link party on Wednesdays...would LOVE to see what you're up to!


Thanks for having me over, Mandy! I had a great time! :)
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!

  4. I love this. One of my favorite gifts from students was a glass Christmas block, with a pretty gold bow. But, I'm thinking I"ll give it a "makeover" based on this idea. Could I get vinyl letters precut? Or would scrapbooking letter stickers work? Hmm....what do you think?

  7. I'm sure scrapbooking letters or even letter stickers would work just as well! Thanks for the comments, ladies! :)

  8. Just another pretty reason why I want a Silhouette....it's a bit out of Santa's price range this year....maybe 2012 though. I'd be really excited to try this though. Scrap book and card making supplies would definitely work.

    Super idea :)
