Glass Nightlight

 Glass Nightlights made from Craft Glass Blocks

These glass craft blocks have been flying around pinterest. I had looked at Joann's and Michael's and had never seen them, so I kinda just forgot about them. Until....I was in Hobby Lobby the other day and they were on an end cap for 50% off!

Score. I bought two of the medium sized blocks for $4.99 each on sale. They were also selling the nightlight light bulbs to go with them for $2.99. Some people use Christmas tree lights too. I followed the general guidelines from artsy fartsy mama. I followed her advice and did not try to even modge podge anything to the glass. I did use the spray adhesive instead. That worked out really well. I let Jack pick out everything for the project and he did NOT want his name on it. Haha!

Materials Used: 

Glass Craft block
Christmas lights or corded night light
Adhesive Spray
Translucent scrapbook paper
Translucent Stickers
(Vinyl lettering) I didn't end up buying any because Jack was adamant that his name was left off. Who knows????
(Ribbon to go around it if you are making for a little girl. I didn't do that for my boys.)

As a demonstration: Jack liked this paper because his favorite stuffed animal, Tiger has a pillow I made from fabric that looks like this, but as you can see, not a whole lot of light passes through. 

This is translucent scrapbook paper and it is perfect. Jack chose green for himself and blue for his baby brother. They were $0.49 each.

Use spray adhesive according to direction and glue on paper. Try to smooth out air bubbles.

Jack is carefully deciding which monster he would like on his nightlight.

Decisions, decisions...

To get the light bulb through, cut this into fourths and then slide the bulb through. 

Jack's nightlight! 

Henry's nightlight. (It's a blue background, but just a little hard to tell in this light.)

I have extra paper and stickers, so I may go back and add a back to them tomorrow. :)
