DIY: Lighted Christmas Package

DIY: Lighted Christmas Package

A couple days ago, I was at Hobby Lobby & Michael's shopping for Christmas decorations.  I stumbled upon a lighted glass box similar to the one I made - the price was something around $35.00, I believe.  I could tell that it was an "in-store" project and so I asked someone if they sold the glass box in store.  I bought the glass box for $11.99.  At home, I already had thick ribbon, a strand of lights, and the little decor accent that you see in the photo.  So, I made it a DIY project. It's super easy and I love lights during the holiday season, so this project was perfect for me!

The glass box is called a Krafty Blok.  Maybe I live in a hole, but I had never seen these before.

If you google Krafty Blok, it will show you tons of different projects you can do with these.  They are perfect for all sorts of holidays - you can get very creative!  These blocks have a cut out on the bottom of them that allows you to stuff things inside (i.e. ribbon, lights, little accent pieces):

After I stuffed the stand of lights inside, I left a little slack so that it could be plugged into the wall.  Then I wrapped it with ribbon and tied the accent piece on the in middle.  Easy as that!  After the holidays, I plan on gathering up some ideas on how to re-use for other holidays throughout the year!!
