Light Bulb Vases... {Upcycled Delicate Decor}

Good morning friends stopping in today.. Hope you are having a lovely start to your 

1st weekend of 2012! I am thrilled to share some fun decor I created for our kitchen window

with you today.. I have been admiring glass vases lately made using old light 

bulbs and LOVE the idea of ❤Upcycling instead of simply recycling! :))

My Take On It..? I Created my own yesterday and would LOVE for you to

be the judge.. I personally ADORE THEM!! Here's the fun tutorial for YOU!!

These where a bit tricky to put together but after breaking one and walking on egg shells

with the other's I finally completed them with SMILES..I have to be honest, they were NOT 

fun in the beginning, but the hope of getting to decorate them after the fact was WORTH

me not giving up.. Want to give them a shot..? Here are the fun artsy items needed!

Lots Of Patience Needed...Payoff = Pretty Priceless..!!

* Artsy Items Needed *

Used Bulbs

Floral Pieces Of Choice

Wire Color Of Choice

* Lets Get Crafty *

(Use this AWESOME CUTE tutorial HERE to open up the bulbs)

(SCAREDY ME -- I couldn't get into the tutorial so to open up my bulbs, I removed 

the little metal top piece using pliers and used a knife to carefully remove the top black 

cover. I then broke the inner piece with my screw driver and used the knife to carefully 

weave out everything! PLEASE make sure to wear gloves and protective glasses)

After removing the glass and opening the bulb, I took some wire and wrapped

it around the top of the bulb to create a loop for hanging. Be careful during this

process as the bulb is so fragile and can crack very easily.. Create a secure loop.

Once your loop is in place, it's time to have some FUN decorating your bulbs!

I wanted something a bit coastal to match the theme on the kitchen pane. I placed

some sea shell's into the vase and added some bamboo and pretty flower's --TADAAA!

REALLY ......THAT'S IT!! VERY SIMPLE AND PRETTY!!!

What do you think..? Hope you enjoyed this pretty and fun tutorial here 

today and get to add these fun upcycled decor to your lovely homes...

THANKS SO MUCH FOR STOPPING IN...

Wishing you an excellent and fun filled weekend!
