My First Glass Blocks!

I made these for my niece Yvonne and nephew Xavier as a Christmas gift. Yvonne is into dance and Xavier into soccer so it was appropriate to make them each a block of their favorite activity. I am very pleased with the end result and can't wait to make more! I got a couple of ideas in my head already!

I made these using glass blocks I purchased from hobbylobby. I also bought the stands. First, I etched the front and back of the blocks with Armour Etch. I put together my svg design and opened it using SCAL and then cut it on my Cricut Expression. I used vinyl I got for free at sign businesses. Just call them up and ask them if they can give you their scraps. I got good scraps from 4 different stores! I carefully placed my cut design on my block. I also added their names on the back. I filled my block with Mini Christmas lights and for the dance block I added iridescent gift-wrap shreds.

I just love the dancers silhouette...I don't remember which site I got this svg from, but thank you to whoever made it! I love it!

By the way, they both loved their personalized glass blocks!
