How to Make a Light Bulb Snowman Ornament

If you are using an old light bulb, you will be removing the wires and inside filament of the light bulb. To do this, you will use a craft knife or Xacto knife, to score the top of the light bulb.

Once the glass bulb has been scored, you will gently remove it and then using the pliers, you will remove all pieces of the filament from the inside.

Now, you will stuff the cotton balls inside the light bulb. When the bulb is filled, you will close it.

First, cut a piece of black fabric or felt into a circle for the hat.

This will have a hole in the center of the hat, slide over the top of the bulb, and then glue the top of the bulb back in place.

Now, you will decorate the hat with berries or greenery.

Cut a piece of the orange fabric or felt for the nose, and then draw a face onto the bulb and attach the fabric nose.

Glue a piece of satin ribbon to the light bulb as a scarf.

To finish, you will add a piece of ribbon or twine to the top back of the lightbulb.

Hang on your tree.
