Light Bulb Santa Ornaments By Monica Resinger Here's a great way to recycle light bulbs! Make a bunch of them to hang on the tree or give as gifts. This also 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.
