Light bulb snow globes

Step 3 Snowman -the upright lightbulb

I used a smaller light bulb for this snow globe, the ones used in refrigerators. I was lucky to find a blue led candle at a dollar store, which I thought would look nice in a snowy scene.

Prepare the led candle

• Remove the flame from the candle, you can use a knife to pry off some of the glue holding it in place.

Prepare bottle cap

• Centre bottle cap over led and mark where to make a hole.
• Using an awl make a hole in the bottle cap and enlarge with pliers, so that it can fit over the leds on the candle.

Cork and snowman

• cut a piece off the end of the cork, just smaller than the height of the bottle cap and make a hole in the centre so it can fit around the leds.
• Use waterproof glue to glue the bottle cap to the candle, with the silicone sealant seal the hole around the leds and the bottle cap so that no water can get into the inside of the led candle.
• Then glue the cork into the bottle cap. Make sure that the neck of the light bulb still fits into the cap.
• Still using the waterproof glue, glue the snowman to the cork, make sure he is not blocking the light from the leds.
