I have been having so much fun with these glass blocks.. Once I finally got the right drill bit to drill in the them.. my oh my.. theres no stopping.. everyone on my Christmas list is getting one of these. Thanks so much to miss Suen... for all her inspiration and help. I got the images from a free desktop wallpaper site online. then I mod podged them onto the block. dried with a hair dryer, then went over the image with mod podge to seal the image. I covered the back with white card stock in the same way as the front. this really adds a wonderful highlight on the front image, really makes it a lot brighter. I added wide ribbon with a bow on the top of each one and there you have it..

Would you also share with me the site were you found the wallpaper and what size bit you used. I would love to try and make some of these, probably not this year, maybe next. It would be nice to have the info in any case. Thanks for sharing these amazing glass blocks.

Is there a tutuorial or a resource somewhere for the directions on how to do these beautiful glass blocks? I put in a search for glass blocks and did not get anything.
