Print Project

Step 1

First, cut a 7"x7" [17.8 cm x 17.8 cm] section from a travel-theme printed paper.

Step 2

Now, use a foam brush to completely cover the printed paper with Mod Podge®, then place the paper, print side down, to the back of your glass block. Use your fingers to smooth out any bubbles. Let dry.

Step 3

Click here for the design in Cricut® Design Space™. Deleted the translated version you do not wish to cut and cut out from vinyl.

Step 4

Use transfer tape to attach the words to the front of your glass block.
TIP: Clean glass with rubbing alcohol to remove any oils or smudges.

Step 5

Remove the stand from the back of a mini frame and attach a family photo to the clip on the frame.

Step 6

Finally, remove the plastic piece at the top of your glass block, add a generous amount of hot glue to the back of your frame, then carefully slide it into the glass block to attach to the back wall inside the block. Let glue set before moving.
