Craft Edge

I am sure all of you are peaced out with me but here is a red peace block anyway.....

Very beautiful. Great Christmas gift.

beautiful. are you sharing the file.?

sure...it is already posted where I show the Peace Block in Gold Vinyl ....really pretty too...but here it is so you don't have to look for it...

I beleive that file doesn't have a box around it to cut it out of your vinyl....the one I am adding now can be cut either 12 x12 or any exact square you need....I cut it out 6.75 x 6.75 for my glass blocks....it is the file below...by the way it can't be viewed on renesis player ...Heather is trying to show me why but just hadn't had time to sit down and try it...but it will show on inkscape or you scal....

Thank you . Thank you. did it. everyone loves it. i will post a pic from my other comp.

I saw 50 count battery operated lights at the hardware store. I didn't pull them out of the box to see how big the battery holder was. Would 50 lights be too many in one of these glass blocks. The wires were White and that's what caught my attention!

I use the 15 white lite from Christmas lights ect....or 20 count....any others get to hot but found LED Holiday Time by Wal Mart that take 3 C batteries 30 count. are really neat and don't get hot..the other LED 50 count have a round about 1 inch thing about 3/4 way down the string so you need to make a 1 inch hole with your diamond bit....where I get my blocks predrilled are 5/8 hole I believe...they don't make different colored regular Xmas lites less than a 35 lite strand or if they do I have been able to find them......one other thing make sure they are stackable and not end to end or you have to cut the one end off but you can start in the middle and stuff them in the hole... pain !!! unless you have a 1 inch hole......you can change the lites out if you have other colors from others you have bought....Pain I would think....also I wrap a craft wire around my lites so the stand up in the block and not all fall to the bottom...and ya'll thought it was easy...just kidding....taken me almost a yr to get this all right.....enjoy !!!! Also if you have a choice get the icescape blocks so you can hardly see in them ....throw a gorgeous lite.....etching is a pain and spray etching stratches off.....

But the cats love 'em. My two always curl up around (or on) the light blocks when they are on.

love my animals too.....on top of running an indoor animal boarding and grooming shop have the animal rescue.....I don't trust anyone who doesn't like animals.....
