iampowered: Make a Snowman Ornament from a Light Bulb

This entry was posted in the following categories: Guides, Home / Office

Here you go with a great Christmas Eve past-time. Creating Snowmans off dead light bulbs.

These steps are from arieanna, posting to blogaholics:

"1. Coat the light bulb in approx 3 layers of white craft paint

2. Coat the "hat" in black, 2-3 layers

3. Glue 3 buttons onto his front - either buttons, or little jewelry beads (using a glue gun)

4. Make eyes and nose from jewelry beads, those tinted silver inside add a nice touch

5. For the nose, I used a miniature light bulb from a package of those sold to decorate those mini Christmas village sets - I simply cut off the lights, then their ends and glued it on

6. Make scarf from some scrap material - fold it over, glue it down then create tassles. Tie it around the neck in your favorite position - you may need to glue it down a bit

7. Using floral wire, make a decorative trim to the hat - wrap it around and tie it off, crunching up the ends. This will give it some flare and also a place for you to add your ornament hook

8. Rub a regular glue stick around the base of the snowman then roll him in some clear sparkles"
