Creative Ideas For Illuminated Glass

Illuminated glasses are decorations that can be used for just what you want. Plus, coming up with new ideas for decorations and recycled materials is an excellent and creative way to naturally de-stress!

When it comes to testing your creativity, there is no need to go out and buy expensive materials. You can always try to recycle products that you already have and have not used yet. In general, the most useful products are made of plastic, but you can also use glass, paper and even cardboard.

In this article, we take a look at how to make some creatively lit glasses.

Creative ideas for illuminated glass

1. Luminous angels

Materials

• 1 pencil
• Wax paper
• Paper cups
• 1 box of colored pencils
• 1 ink
• Transparent tape or glue
• Small LED lamps (preferably without cable)

Procedure (to clothe the angel)

1. Take the wax paper and trace the outside of the cup: Lean the cup sideways and mark the edges while tracing it. You will get a bent shape that fits in the cup.
2. Cut the template. Make sure you do not cut the exact traced line, but approx. one and a half inches from the line.
3. Color the wax paper the color you want.
4. Fold the paper like an accordion. This will give your angel volume.
5. Once the paper is folded, cut out the geometric shapes. As many as you want.
6. Open the paper and complete the decoration. Use to detail the edges and the various decorations. The idea is to mimic the pattern of a fabric.

Procedure (for the wings and the angel’s face)

1. Take another sheet of wax paper and draw the angel’s face. Make it as detailed as you want, or give it a minimalist style. Do not be afraid to choose the second option if you did the previous step very elaborately.
2. Mark the edges with the marker as well as all parts of the face so we can see everything we have drawn.
3. Color it the color you want.
4. Repeat this step to decorate the wings.
5. Stick each piece to the cup with tape or with a few drops of glue. Place the LED lights under the cup so that the angel shines.

Now you have a beautiful decoration to place in any special corner of your home. It should be pointed out that these decorations do not necessarily have to be saved for Christmas. It all depends on what style you give it.

Illuminated picture frames

Now we want to share a very creative idea on how you can enjoy the immortal memories in your home. These days, very few people print their photos, and instead the majority prefer to save them in the albums on their phones. It’s time to hang these memories up!

Materials

• Ruler
• Scissors
• Photographs
• Parchment paper
• Glass
• Double sided tape
• Candles (candle or battery powered)

Before you start one of the following steps, we recommend a few things that will make the job easier. The idea is to show your creativity and to express the important memory that you will remember.

We recommend that you use horizontal images so that it covers the glass and the light of the light fills the entire image. Printing a black and white image on parchment paper will give it a nostalgic look.

Procedure

1. Carefully cut the image so that it is the same height on the glass and its edges fit perfectly.
2. After inserting the image into the glass, tape it to the glass.
3. If your glass is very large, you may need more than one photo to cover all the pages.
4. After the pictures are glued, place a (unlit) light carefully inside the glass.

One good thing is that the light will look beautiful anywhere. It will either stand out because of the light or just because of its presence.

As an extra piece of advice , it is recommended to use a scented candle to give your illuminated glass a final impression.

We will also share an interesting fact: These illuminated glasses are a great opportunity to decorate your house for events, both indoors and outdoors.
