DIY Lighted Glass Gift Box

If you are on Pinterest, you might have noticed all the cute projects a girl can do with glass blocks. (If not check out my DIY board for examples.) My husband and I recently tackled such a project this week.

Materials:

• Glass cube (We purchased ours at AC Moore for 5.00 on sale.)
• Lights (We used snowflake ones, about 2.00 after Christmas clearance, Wal-Mart)
• Ribbon (2.50 Christmas clearance, Hobby Lobby)
• Ornament (optional, 25 cents, Wal-Mart Christmas clearance)

Instructions:

• Place lights inside cube. You may have to do a little bit of maneuvering to get them looking the way you want.
• Wrap your ribbon around it like you would a gift
• Tie a bow or add an ornament or accessory

Cost

9.75

I wish you could see how ours turned out in person! Sometimes a picture just doesn't cut it. We chose "wintry" colors so it could stay out all season.
