??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
YOU GET A PRECIOUS NIGHT LIGHT FOR A BABY GIRL!
Here is how I did it:
First take a glass brick that contractors stack up to make walls in bathrooms. I noticed the other day that Micheal's is selling these glass bricks in a kit. Clean it well.
Rub on vinyl decorative stickers. Put lights inside through the top. Keep lights towards back of brick. Add shimmery filling to the front to hide the lights. Tie a ribbon around sides of the brick tying at the top. Make yourself a floral bow using ribbon and tying it together with floral wire. (I will be showing how to make bows real soon) Attach bow to the top of glass brick and turn it on... It's just that simple.
Here is a picture of it without the lights on. WARNING: Keep away from baby. Read and Follow ALL safety instructions. There is lead in ALL twinkle light cording always wash your hands after use.

Robin- This is fabulous! You are absolutely amazing, Wonder Woman! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful craft!
ReplyDeleteI told Mandy about your sky diving adventures and she said, "Robin is AWESOME!" I couldn't agree more.:-) She wants to get together with you for a "play date"! Lori
Love it for the baby's room! I need to remember this one.
ReplyDeleteI SO NEED to know how to make the ribbon for the wedding!!! I AM EXCITED TO LEARN!
ReplyDeleteThese lights are so cute. A patient at work makes and sells them. She has her husband drill a hole in the back and feeds the lights in that way. I bought one from her last year for Christmas...I love it.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to learn how to make your beautiful bows.
You light up my life. Remember that song? I love that song. I love this idea too. I think it is something I could even pull off. I love when you do your crafts Robin. You are very good at it.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE those! They're too cute! Linda's comment made me wonder about how you were dealing with the cord, by the way.

ReplyDeleteWhat a darling idea for gifts. Some people just have the craft gene oozing out of their bodies!
ReplyDeleteMy momma did one of these for us last year for Christmas! I have it set on a timer in the front room so that it comes on at night when all are asleep...It makes everything look warm and homey.
ReplyDeleteSo, so cute! I love all of your ideas; I am going to try the pumpkins, since I already have grapevine pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteFound you via Debi at What's Cookin' in Junk. I'll be back for more ideas!
VERY clever! Your site makes me want to sing Christmas Carols!
ReplyDeleteThat is so so cute!!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea but I am curious as to where you purchased the shimmery accents filler. If you could let me know where to find it or something similar I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHey Jessica,
DeleteI bought it at Ben Franklin crafts... I looked all over the Internet and couldn't find it either. I am going to Ben Franklin's this week and will look and see if they have it still.
I imagine you can use all sorts of things like sheer glittery ribbon etc etc.
It's been a long time since I made this! But I know I've seen this filler at other craft stores!
Where can I purchase the rub on transfer? Looked everywhere!! Love this :-)
ReplyDeleteI purchased mine at Ben Franklin's craft store in 2008 when I first made this. They do not carry it anymore. If you could find someone who has a vinyl cutting machine, that would work too!
