Glass Block Lights

By

Purchase a diamond drill bit, I use at least a 3/8 and use a water bottle when I drill to keep the bit from overheating. Can also use a special oil.
I then rinse the glass block with warm soapy water and let dry overnight before I put the lights in them. Sometimes put them by the heat register so they dry thoroughly.

Hi there,
I made my first "present" for under the tree in just a few minutes. lowes (hardware) has the blocks with the hole already drilled for around 9 dollars, I found ribbon at the dollar store, the 25 white lights and nice big bow at walmart.
mine is not as beautiful as some that I have seen but it is my first and it took five minutes and looks wonderful under the tree. I plan on doing more later when I have more time to be more creative. Good luck to you!

My husband and I have just returned from 5 weeks in the US. Whilst there, we saw the beautiful glass block lights available. We would like to start making them. Can someone point me in the right direction?
