Crafty Creations 4: Glass Cube Night Light

I love these! They are great for decorations and practical for little kids rooms where they want a night light. But then when they grow out of it you can still use them for decoration in your home or pass them on to someone else. 

materials:
  • Clear Glass block window cube with hole in one side. 
  • mini string lights (think Christmas lights but the mini ones)
  • pearl iridescent paint
  • paint brush
  • vinyl rub-ons (1 decal &/or 1 word)
  • wide ribbon with wire edges (enough to go around cube and possibly a bow on top. if for boy may not want to include the bow. 
  • hot glue and glue gun


directions:
* Paint glass cube with one thin layer of pearl iridescent paint. you want it thin enough to see the lights shine though.
* let completely dry
* once dry, rub on the vinyl decals on the front of the cube.
* insert mini light strand into hole in cube, letting the cord hang out of cube. 
* wrap ribbon around the edge of cube leaving the whole for the cord open. adhere using hot glue
* if adding bow adhere to with hot glue. 
* let glue dry before plugging in
* plug in and enjoy or give as gift.
