If you couldn’t already tell, I’ve been in the mood to work on Halloween projects. A few different projects. (Halloween is only 65 days away, you know!) Inspired by this tutorial I decided I need my own witch table with feet. Or a cauldron with feet. Maybe both? But a table could hold the cauldron? I…

DIY Lighted Glass Block
Here’s a very basic overview of how to make those lighted glass blocks that are showing up everywhere. Get yourself a Krafty Blok and mini light set from the craft store. (You can get plain glass blocks at Lowe’s or Menards that are less expensive, but then you’ll have to drill them. I didn’t feel…
