I was watching videos and looking through
Christmas catalogs recently. I was needing
ideas for my DIY Christmas Decor and
gifts. I finally spotted a craft that required
materials that were easy to find in most
stores. The craft was simple and I had
most of the embellishments on hand.
Apparently this craft was the trend
three years ago. I didn't notice it on
the craft channels. This craft used
light bulbs. I couldn't fInd the old
fashion incadescent light bulbs.
The store I was shopping at only
had single packs of 60 watt bulbs.
The 2 count LED chandelier light
bulbs were the best choice. I had
to create my own design for these
40 watt light bulbs. The online video
that I watched used recycled 60 watt
light bulbs. They were decorated to
resemble snowmen.
BULB CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS
NEED:
(3) 2-pack 40 Watt Chandelier bulbs
Embellishments:
Adhesive Green Diamond Wrap
Diamond Gold Pearl Wrap
12 Count Green & Red Mini Bows
7 Red & Green Pipe Cleaners
Mini Red Berries (80-90)
Mini Greenery ( 6-7 Pieces )
Assorted 90 count:
Red, Green, & White Pom Poms
Red, Green, & White Ribbon, 5/8 Inch
Red Satin Ribbon, 5/8 Inch with:
Words Merry Christmas
TOOLS:
Glue Gun & Glue Sticks
Scissors
Lay out embellishments & decide which
ones to place on the bulbs. Freely use my
decorated bulbs as inspiration. These bulbs
have a white panel with words written on
them. I decided to cover the panels with
embellishments. I left the bulb portion
exposed. The diamond wrap has adhesive
but I still added glue to make gems more
secure. The berries were removed from
their stems with scissors. I added them
one at a time, on the panel. Secured them
with hot glue.
I cut small leaves & vines off picks & bushes.
They were hot glued on the white panel
of the bulb.
I have a collection of odds and ends
from previous craft projects. However,
the mini bows, gems, and pom poms
were bought from a Dollar Store.
Embellishment like beads, buttons,
ribbons, and gems can be used for
Christmas crafts once you have a
design you want to try.
