Light Bulbs Candle Holders

Want to re use those shot light bulbs rather than throw them away. Why not make them into a Halloween decoration.

You will need:
an old light bulb
a candle stick
a screwdriver
coarse sandpaper
A saw
WARNING: This Instructable involves breaking glass and sharp metal, therefore I would advise protective gloves and goggles to be worn during the first couple of steps. Make sure you have a responsible adult with you if you are under 18.

Step 1 The Light Bulb

CAUTION: Use Protective GLOVES and GOGGLES

To remove the bottom metal area of the light bulb is very tricky. Cut the top of the metal off ( approx. 3 rings down) as this should be just before the empty space stops. When that has been removed you will need to carefully cut the rest of the metal away by prising it away from the metal on the inside. The metal can be very sharp so be careful, please

Getting wet/dry sandpaper and sanding it inside a dishtub is a good way to go, less liekly to shatter, gets you a better edge, and is less likely to make airborne glass dust, which is not good for you!
