Vinyl Nativity Glass Block

Materials Needed:
Vinyl
Glass block
Wired ribbon (at least 2 yards to make a pretty bow)
Stencil paper
String of white lights (make sure the cords are white too)
Popsicle stick or credit card to rub the vinyl

Instructions:
1. Make sure the outside surface of the block is clean.
2. Place the vinyl on a table and rub the top of the vinyl with a credit card or popsicle stick, so the clear plastic tape on top of the vinyl (black part) will adhere to the vinyl.
3. Start at the bottom corner and peel the backing off slowly. If it does not come off the backing, rub the top again, so it will stick to the clear tape.
4. Once you have the vinyl off the backing, place the vinyl on your block. The small opening of the block should be at the bottom. Again, start at one corner or side of the vinyl and work your way across with one hand to get all the bubbles out as you lay it onto the block.
5. Rub the clear plastic tape (only where the vinyl is) with a credit card or popsicle stick to make sure the vinyl now sticks to the glass.
6. Pull the clear tape slowly off the vinyl.
7. Once the tape is off your block, you can rub the vinyl with your fingers to get out any bubbles.
8. Cut a piece of stencil paper to make a square the size of the inside of your block.
9. Softly bend/roll the stencil paper to fit into your glass block. Once inside, it should open up to lay flat.
10. Turn your block over so the vinyl is touching the table and the stencil paper is against the glass side with the vinyl.
11. Stuff your string of lights into the glass block so they will be behind the stencil paper once standing up. Leave the end of the strand and the plug hanging out of the block.
12. Wrap ribbon around your block and tie a bow at the top.
