Light Bulb Santa Ornaments
by Monica Resinger - Plantldy98@aol.com

Description: How to make light bulb Santa ornaments.

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.
