Learn how to make Christmas ornaments out of light bulbs, cardboard tubes and action figures. These festive ideas are easy and quick to do!

Details or Sample:
Every year a few more ornaments break. Styles and color themes change, too. Buying new ornaments can be costly and time consuming, especially when you have a lot of entertaining or Christmas shopping to do. These three ideas can quickly be made from little things around the house. Only the cost of some simple items like glue, felt, paint and ribbon are needed. Decorate your entire tree, or host a little ornament-making event for family and friends.

The light bulb has become the universal symbol for ideas. Taking this concept a step further, light bulbs that have served their illuminating purpose can make interesting and quick Christmas ornaments. You can take simple craft paint and create glittery designs or paint your favorite Christmas character. Getting a base coat down first, will help the inspiration come. Start with white, silver, green, or any color theme you like. Patterns using glitter paint will make the bulb ornaments stand out. You can place a completed one up in an old egg carton to dry while you paint the next one. Use wire or pipe cleaners tied around the base of the bulb to form your hook for hanging it on the tree. Speaking of the metal base, be sure to hold your new ornament here while you paint so you don't crack the glass!
