Introduction: How to Make Old Lightbulbs Into New Decoraitions
This is an instructable on how to turn old lightbulbs into stylish hangers or doorknobs.
Step 1:
First follow this tutorial on how to hollow out the lightbulb https://www.instructables.com/id/Concrete-Lightbulb-Wall-Hook/step2/Hollow-out-the-light-bulb/
Step 2:
Next mix a batch of thickish pollyfiller in a pot. Now pour the first layer of pollyfiller into a second pot and add some food colouring. Then pour the pollyfiller into the bulb, wash out the pot and repeat with whatever other colours you like.
Step 3:
To get the coloured blobs use a stick and prod the colours to the side of the glass. Once their if you make small circles with the stick it spreads to a nice effect.
Step 4:
Leave the polyfiller to get a bit thicker then insert a screw into the end. Leave the bulb to set and then your done!!! Just go screw it into sometning.
Step 5:
P.S: I left the glass from the bulb on for the nice shiny colour but you dont have to.
P.P.S: Please feel free to post pictures of your lightbulbs in the comments.
