Well here is a recipe that is amazing! I know that you will love this as much as I have fun making them. Try making your own homemade silicone bulbs. You will become addicted and wonder why you haven't tried these sooner!
These are fun to make and you can buy the silicone at Lowe's ,Home Depot , or any hardware store . Here is what you will need:
*Silicone caulking in the tube ~ (make sure it is 100 percent silicone)
Gloves (the disposable kind you find at the pharmacy like what your Dr. uses works perfectly!)
*An empty container for the silicone ~ (You can buy cheap storage bowls at the dollar store as you want to make sure that you cover the silicone when not in use. You can save it with a lid.)
*5 watt bulbs or any any stringed lights
*Ventilation ~ Silicone does have fumes !!
Make sure you have enough silicone in your tub to completely cover the glass part of your bulb . If not sure measure the bulbs to your container .
Tie a string to the metal end of the bulb for hanging to dry.
Pour your silicone into your container and tap it down. Do not stir as you will get air bubbles in it and your lights will have them also.
Dip your bulb slowly into the silicone and slowly pull back out as this is how it gets its tail . You can also swirl these , add color , and scent.
That's it! How much more simple can you get?!? I love making the silicone bulbs on my strands of lights. It reminds me having little candlesticks, and looks amazing on my Christmas tree, swags, wreaths, and more!
Now it's your turn to try them and tell me what you think! I would love to see your finished projects!
