Description: How to make light bulb Santa ornaments.
Sponsors:
Here's a great way to recycle light bulbs! Make a bunch of them to
hang on the tree or give as gifts. This is a great craft to sit down
and do with the kids.
Supplies:
Burnt out light bulb
small piece of sandpaper
white, flesh or beige, and red acrylic paints
small paintbrush
snow textured paint
1 -- Start with any size or shape burned out light bulb. Sand it lightly
with sandpaper so the paint will adhere better. Paint the glass with
a base coat of white acrylic paint.
2 -- Holding the light bulb with the skinnier side up, paint a 1 - 1
1/2" circle in beige or flesh on the wider part of the bulb for
Santa's face.
3 -- Paint snow textured paint over the white paint.
4 -- Paint facial features and rosy cheeks on the beige. Tip: The rosy
cheeks can be done with lipstick.
5 -- Paint the metal portion of the bulb red for Santa's hat.
6 -- Finish off by glueing a cotton ball on the very top of the hat.
Also glue some stretched cotton around the base of the hat. Hot glue
a piece of red ribbon to hang by.
