Twine Wrapped Light Bulbs {Pears}
Hi All! Now that Valentine's Day is
over, I can turn my attentions back to
some other projects setting on the
back burner... such as these little beauties.
I came across a really neat tutorial over at
Pages From Home - here is her bowl of "pears".
Visit her site for the very simple tutorial.
(she also has a Blogger site with the same tutorial)
Is this not one of the sa-weet-est
UP CYCLE projects ever???
Light bulbs, folks, light bulbs... DING!
I did add a little twist of my own, by adding
a "leaf" cut from a toilet paper roll.
Cut it on the curve of the roll for a more natural look.
The "stems" were clipped from my
Yellow Forsythia Bush.
Happy Friday, Y'all!

Hey Nancy, I had seen some done paper mache style, but I'm not super crazy on doing that, even though it is fun, I'd have to be in the mood for it. Thanks for your sweet comment!
DeleteWhat a great idea! Very cute!

Love your selling site! can't wait to see the goodies you'll post.
Deleteno way! I always KNEW there had to be something I could do with those old lightbulbs besides save them to make Santa heads and other various christmas ornaments that I've never actually gotten around to making! Cute!
ReplyDeleteI know, only I'm not good at painting faces. I have a sweet idea for those long pointed candelabra shaped ones as well.
DeleteThese are so cute! Wow, you are so creative. Can't believe you used lightbulbs. They look so real. Thank you so much for sharing at A Bouquet of Talent this week. Just pinned, too! :)

LOL, I know, and I've tossed so many away - but I know better now ;-) thanks for hopping over to chat ;-)
DeleteWow, so adorable! Kathy at Lakeshore Drive featured your post, asking if we could guess what they were made of, I thought they looked like light bulbs. What a creative use for old bulbs! Love it and will be pinning.
ReplyDeleteDebbie :)
How wonderful! I'm so glad you came over to comment.
DeleteLight bulbs? Genius!!! This project takes Upcycling to a whole new level!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! yes, it really does. I hate "tossing" out, so I'm glad I found a way to pretty-fy them! I'm going to practice painting faces on them as snowmen this coming Christmas. Glad you like them, and thanks for taking the time to comment ;-)
DeleteSo cute.............Thank you for sharing with the Clever Chicks Blog Hop this week; I hope you’ll join us again!
