A cute way to recycle old light bulbs!
It is not a foreign concept that light bulbs burn out. So why throw all those light bulbs out when you can decorate with cute mini vases! The vase in the picture has buttons in the bottom and a dead rose. The longest part is cracking the black glass.
In the image, the metal part of another light bulb is glued to the bottom as a base.

Your video was VERY helpful! I was a little confused at first on how to get the small silver piece off but the tweezers trick worked great!

1. I was so afraid that you'd hurt yourself! I'm really afraid to do it, but I'm going to anyway!! Cuts heal...right? Happy
2. Thanks to you, I just had to Google that song! So on top of an awesome project idea, you've expanded my music library. Happy
