A Simple Glass Cube

Yesterday I purchased this glass cube from the many they had on a display at the Lowe's store, for $ 9.99 each. I am going to dress it up and use it as a Christmas gift. The cube has a hole cut in the top with a plastic cap over it. I took off the plastic cap and added a small strand of clear Christmas lights. Because of these pre-cut hole, I could use an electric strand of lights. The cord comes out of the hole and can then be plugged in.


I had purchased some wide sheer, gold, wired ribbon, tied it around the lit cube, added a bow, and then added some real looking faux evergreens, a faux leaf, and some pinecones to the center of the bow. This lit cube could add a touch of festivity to a powder room or a kitchen counter, or wherever you want a touch of coziness. The ways of decorating these glass cubes, are endless. I have seen people take three of these, add different colored lights to each one, wrap them as Christmas packages, and pile them on a wooden bench on their front porch, and add evergreens around them.

A simple idea for a gift for any occasion. I think this could be displayed throughout the winter season, since it does not have a Christmas only, look to it.
