Lightbulb ornaments

When Significant Other and I moved into the apartment together, I brought a couple of lamps from home to put in our office. I didn't realize that there was a ceiling light (with a CFL bulb!) in there already, so I had a box of lightbulbs sitting in the closet that were going to go to waste.

And then I discovered Etsy and saw this, and a la Adam Richman said, "Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!"

So, I present you with lightbulb ornaments.

First, I took a lightbulb (these are cheap ones from Walmart, I think they cost $0.88 for a box of four) and wrapped some wire around the threaded part. Finding an effective way to do it was frustrating, but the whole thing becomes much sturdier once you tie a ribbon on.

Next, I used paint pens to draw some snowflakes on the lightbulb.

Then I tied some ribbon around the threaded part, hiding the wire that is looped around it. I found the whole spool for 60% off at Michael's; it cost me $0.80.

The finished product.
