Paying to Have Holes Cut in Glass Blocks

By Tammy (Guest Post)

Hobby Lobby sells these blocks with holes already in for $9.99 each.

I think the stores are on to this need to make gifts out of glass blocks.
Hobby Lobby sells the blocks with the holes already cut out and they supply a stopper ( like a piggy bank) to boot.

The poem is just lovely, Thank you so much. It really touched my heart. Did you write it?

Hi Ruth and everyone, I found this post on GardenWeb from "lime_coke." First, she said to use eye goggles to protect from possible flying glass chips - safety glasses don't hug your eye area. You must use a diamond drill bit, 1/2" for stringed lights, 1" for lights with a clip (?). Use a spray water bottle to cool the drill bit and go slowly. Harbor Freight and ebay have diamond drill bits available at a cheaper rate. harborfreight.com has them for $4.99. Good luck! Joyce

Here is a poem that would go well with these beautiful creations.

This is a very special gift
that you can never see.
The reason it's so special is
it's for you from me.

Whenever you are lonely
or even feeling blue
you only hold this gift
and know I'm thinking of you.

You can never unwrap it.
Please leave the ribbon tied.
Just hold the close to your heart.
It's filled with love inside.

If you don't have a friend with a drill that does this, you can put a little ad on Craig's List or your local community Yahoo group. I'm sure someone would do this for you for $1-2 per block. It is not that hard to do. Definitely don't pay $5.

Do not pay anyone $5 to drill that hole! I don't know where you're getting them, but here the blocks are less than that! That's means you'd have to sell them for a lot more. Try to find a friend with a drill who is willing to do it for you. That's what I did!
