Intro: Get Your Materials Together

What you need:
28 water bottles
Hot glue gun
Hot glue sticks
Exacto knife
Scissor

STEP 1: Making the Light Bulb Units

1. Cut the top and bottom of the water bottles using the Exacto knife.
2. Glue the top and bottom you just cut to make a small light bulb shape.

STEP 2: Connecting the Light Bulbs

After you finish making 28 light bulbs from step 2, gather three bulbs into a bouquet and glue the bottom. You should have 8 bunches of the three bulbs at the end of this step.

STEP 3: Bring the Bouquets Together

Glue 4 bouquets together to make a half sphere. Repeat the process for the other 4 bouquets.

STEP 4: Last Step!

Bring the incandescent light bulb and cord together. Pull the cord through the middle of a bulb bouquet. Glue the half spheres together.

STEP 5: Congratulations!

Enjoy the light bulb lamp you just made!

AncuA, the bulb is a 7W LED and doesn't produce enough heat to melt the plastic!

what about the heat of the bulb? does not melt the plastic?
