POWERLESS BULBS

POWERLESS BULBS

Save power, and reuse bulbs!!...today, we are using bulbs that are no longer useful to light-up as decorations. People who like decorating their homes with Christmas trees can use these bulbs as ornaments, if not on trees, they always dazzle up your space.

We need:

Used Bulbs, except the Spiral CFL bulbs, they are difficult to paint.

Colorful adhesive tapes

Oil colors in tubes

Paint brushes

One tough Glue

Glitter powder, or glitter chips

Long Satin ribbon or a decorative thread, enough to make a beautiful simple bow for hanging.

Steps to make these ornaments:

Take the bulb and clean the surface with a damp cloth, let dry. Now if you have colorful adhesive tapes, start sticking them as per your design.

Or start painting the surface with oil paints, dont use paint thinners, the paint should not drip. use oil paints that come in tubes instead. Let the paint dry and now take a satin ribbon, make a bow and stick it to the holder with a hot glue or a strong glue.

To only make a shimmery bulb, apply glue all-over the bulb, shower the shimmer onto the bulb, let dry and your shiny bulb is ready.
