YES, this is truly a five minute project AFTER you locate an 8″ x 8″ glass brick. From research on line and on foot, you can find them at Hobby Lobby (non-existant in my area). I did not find any at Michaels or Joanns. I got mine at Sonora Tile & Supply, in Sonora CA. The pieces I was able to purchase were close out ‘bits’ from last year so I got them at quite a nice price, $4-$7 per piece.
The Décor Element I used can be found on page 229 of Stampin’ Up!’s 2011-12 Idea Book & Catalog. 114708, Jingle All the Way (m), $9.95. It also comes in a smaller size, 114707 for $3.50.
I placed it on our piano after this photo with a clear glass holder and votive candle behind. Very soft, “glow-y” and pretty.
Here’s a quick ‘how-to’ for using a Décor Element. This one is retired but they all work the same way!
1- Clean the glass thoroughly, removing all ‘grease’ from your fingers.
2- Burnish your image with a Décor Elements Applicator, 114285, $1.95
3- Gently peel back the heavier grid-printed layer. Be sure you leave all of the image on the thinner paper.
4- Position the exposed image carefully on the glass (or wall or wherever you are placing it).
5- Carefully peel off this final thin layer of paper, ensuring that all image pieces remain on the glass. Gently burnish these pieces again, using applicator or even your fingernail.
