Christmas is approaching, the mood is in the red of the holidays and the ideas for creative occupation of the mind (and not only) are increasing. Thus, the idea of decorating glass blocks was born \u2013 not just the space with glass blocks, but the decoration of the glass block itself, both inside and out. We will mainly focus on interior decoration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So how can we decorate a glass block on the inside? Of course, we have to drill holes in it first! Follow these steps with good cheer:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Using a diamond drill bit, carefully drill the hole we want into the glass block, making sure that the point is as close to the center of its side as possible. The movement of the drill bit should be vertical, steady, and without rushing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Throughout the drilling process, pour water over the area to prevent the drill bit from overheating and the possibility of breaking the glass block.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    After about 4\u20135 minutes, the hole will be complete. Clean the glass block with water, both inside and out, let it dry and it is ready for decoration!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Inside the glass block we can place lights, gravel, sand or even water. The only thing that limits us is the size of the hole we made. Then, we can deal with the exterior decoration<\/strong>. There are many ways: decoupage technique, vinyl stickers, painting or any other idea that activates your creativity. The result will definitely be impressive!<\/p>\n

    Good luck and happy holidays!<\/p>\n
