Krafty Blok and Vinyl Words

 

I found a new product… I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about it at first.  To me, those glass block crafts are what I call a “granny craft” and have been “done to death” BUT Vinyl Words vinyl transfers that you can add to the face of KraftyBlok to add a little something new to them.  It’s a craft we are all familiar with but with a little different twist.

 

There are words and seasonal transfers PLUS some of the transfers come in differentThis is just a small sampling of the transfers to choose from.

Frankenstein face vinyl transfer.

With this one I just used a strand of 25 tiny white lights with green tulle wrapped around the wire and the Frankenstein face adhered to the blok. Familiar craft…different look!

Other Things to Know:

There is a wire stand that comes in two sizes so that you can use a single light bulb in your KraftyBlok instead of a string of lights.

There is a little sticker dot on the header of each package of vinyl that lets you know what color the transfer is.

Vinyl transfers can be easily removed to use the same KraftyBlok over and over again.

Yes, these transfers could also be used for the wall, vases, windows and other applications.

There are instructions for application here

 

And here are some other bloks I created for further inspiration!

This “Family” blok was spray painted with “Frosted Glass” spray paint, allowed to dry and the transfer applied. Two floral picks and a bow were attached with floral cling to the top of the blok.  The blok sits in the large wire frame with a single night light bulb inside.

“Believe” has a small string of tiny lights and shredded styrofoam inside with a small santa hat glued to the corner.

The double stack of bloks were spray painted with Design Master spray paints and allowed to dry (there is a large and small blok in the stack).  I used floral cling to attach the bloks to one another and added a bow along with two floral picks to the top. There is a strand of lights in each blok.

“Happy Fall” is only a portion of one of the vinyl transfers and a portion of another set of fall leaf transfers.  Again the blok was spray painted with “Frosted Glass”, allowed to dry and vinyl transfers attached.  This is the largest blok sitting in the large frame with a single bulb inside.

The Jack-O-Lantern blok was alcohol inked with red and butterscotch alcohol ink and allowed to dry.  The Jack-O-Lantern face was applied and the small blok placed in the small frame with a flicker bulb inside.

There are plenty of options for using the Vinyl Words transfers (on KraftyBlok or off).  If you use them send along a picture.  I’d love to see what you do!

    I’m afraid to put foam and lights together for fear of fire. Did you use a special kind?

      No Dar. I just don’t leave it on when I’m not home or over night.
      So far so good. 🙂

    Where did you purchase the vinyl from

    • Vicki O'Dell October 6, 2015 at 11:00 am

      Hi Amanda
      A company called Vinyl Words. But many craft stores carry vinyl letters and sayings and you can easily create your own if you have an electronic cutting machine.
      I hope that helps.

    Have you ever had an issue with the vinyl not sticking or staying flush on the glass after application?

    • Vicki O'Dell December 8, 2014 at 6:55 pm

      No, Allison, I haven’t. If you are having trouble maybe try a different brand of vinyl?

    I’m trying to find where to purchase these blocks at wholesale pricing – DO you know where I can get large quantity from the vendor?

  • Vicki February 20, 2010 at 10:02 pm

    What, you mean you haven’t sent them? Should I call a few times and ask for the tracking number? 🙂
    ENDLESS! Haha! I get it. 🙂
    Just shoot me an email when you are ready an we’ll get set up. I’m ready when you are!

    You’re a pro Vicki!!! You’ve got the glass block Vinyl Words projects down. I’m going to be sending boatloads of samples your way to let you play with them on other surfaces. Imagine what you could do with vinyl, spray paint and hot glue. The possibilities are ENDLESS 🙂
