Snowman Light Bulb Ornament

Save your burnt-out light bulbs and use them to create a fun and glittery ornament. A great way to save money is with repurposed crafts. Ideas like the Snowman Light Bulb Ornament will brighten up your tree and sparkle all season.



Materials:
  • Light Bulb
  • White Glitter
  • Spray Adhesive
  • Acrylic Paint/ T-Shirt Paint
  • Rope, String, Ribbon ( to make the tie)
Instructions:
  1. Before getting started have paper set up or a bowl ready to catch the unused glitter.
     
  2. Tie your choice of ribbon, rope, or string around the metal portion of the light bulb.
     
  3. Spray the adhesive over every inch of glass on the light bulb (make sure the light bulb is fully covered to prevent “bald spots”).
     
  4. Sprinkle glitter over the gluey light bulb.
     
  5. LET DRY (usually takes 2-3 hours depending on the brand of glue).
     
  6. After the snowman is fully dry, you can begin to paint on a face.
     
  7. A snowman needs two eyes, a carrot nose, and some buttons but is not limited to just that! GET CREATIVE.
     
  8. After you have painted the snowman let him dry & before you know it…you have a cool and cute little light bulb snowman.
