Homemade & Recycled

Around my house, the holidays aren’t officially over until 1/11, my birthday. (1/11/11 this year!) So I’m sure you won’t mind taking a look at these recycled Xmas ornaments I made? They are made out of dead lightbulbs .. haha…

I put a bell on this one.

Any size bulb will do.. this is a nightlight bulb. It’s best to have a block of styrofoam laying around that you can stick the bulb into while it dries.

They look pretty good on the tree… or wherever else you feel like hanging a big ‘ol lightbulb.

    I used to decorate old light bulbs when I was making a lot of sets. The shape seems way too gorgeous to toss away once the light has flickered and died. Very industrious on your part and an excellent way to recycle. These would make any tree happier!

      Thanks Allee! I just can’t throw the bulbs in the trash.. when I paint them they look so fun.
