Cool Things To Do With Old Light Bulbs
Shine A Light On Your Creativity
It’s always great to be able to turn your trash into treasure. Before you decide to toss that blown light bulb from your fave lamp or living room fixture, you are definitely gonna wanna peep some of these genius DIY ideas. They will save some space at the landfill, and give you a cool new bit of home décor! You’ll never look at spent light bulbs the same way again!
Twine Wrapped Pear Light Bulbs
Who knew that some twine, an old light bulb, and some hot glue equaled pears?! This adorable little DIY art craft is super simple, and the end result would look really cute in your kitchen, or just about any other room in your home. Put them in a colorful, or neutral, basket and you’ve got a foolproof decorative element on your hands. Get the how to here.
Light Bulb Critters For Your Garden
There truly are some creative souls in the world. If you’re looking for a little something to add some interest to your garden area, or maybe even your balcony, we just might have the solution. You can make some spiders out of bulbs, paint, and wire. Or, skip the paint and use some different colored bulbs for the body. Get some inspo here. However, if the arachnophobia is strong with you, perhaps some sweet lil bumblebees instead? Googly eyes optional of course. You could also add some wire here for legs. Get the instructions this way.
Hanging Mini Flower Vases
Alright, so this one does take a bit of work, but these are worth the effort. You’ll need a pair of pliers, a screw driver, and some gloves. Possibly some safety goggles, just in case. Basically, you pry off the top of the metal part of the bulb, and then remove the insides. Life Is A Party has a really good tutorial for all this, just work slowly and carefully. When you’re finished, simply fill with some water, and your blooms of choice. You could hang these with twine, ribbon, or just about anything you wish. These would look really pretty in front of a window, or even from some of your more sturdy plants.
Turn Them Into Terrariums
Following the same hollowing out tutorial as above, you can also create the sweetest little terrariums. You could fill them with sand, stones, air plants, mini cacti, etc. You could even do seashells and water! You’re only really limited by your imagination, and even then, there’s plenty of inspiration out there to help you achieve success.
