The Do it Yourself (DIY) trend has been gaining power over the last couple of years. Today, we're able to find many websites to teach us how to make every little project under the sun. Last week, my niece Jade Lopes came up with a project herself and I was totally in awe. It's a small plant vase created with burned out light bulbs. She showed us the step-by-step process to recreating it.
You'll need:
Light bulbs
A piece of string (preferably nylon)
Pliers
Wire
Straws and tiny flowers
1- Remove the back part of the lightbulb using the pliers to get rid of the middle of it. If you need to, use a serrated knife to break the seal.
2- The complicated part comes now: removing the interior of the light bulb. Since the common pliers are too thick, try working with one special for nails. Have some patience.
3- When you're able to break the interior of the bulb, get rid of the broken glass.
4- Now you'll be able to have an idea of the final result. With a piece a wire, create a strap (just like a bag). Place it safely around the top of the bulb. Remember that we'll place water inside.
5- Tie a piece of the string to the wire and the other piece to the straw. Fill the bulb with water being careful to pour the right amount in order for the container to stay in the right position.
Jade worked with pieces of string of different lengths in order to obtain asymmetric results.
