Old fashion incandescent light bulbs are just about a thing of the past. But next time you switch one out for a fancy schmancy CFL, don’t toss it, reuse it and create a funky and eye catching vase.

Things you’ll need:
Incandescent bulb (heavy glass ones are best)
Pliers
Wood egg holder
Paint and paintbrush (optional)

Things to do:
1. Disassemble the light bulb to remove its interior parts. Use the pliers to peel back the small metal disc at the end of the bulb then gently tap the small black glass tip until it breaks. Use the pliers to pull the wires out.



2. Paint the eggcup if desired and allow it to dry before settling the bulb onto the dip to hold it steady. Fill the bulb with water and flowers.
