Upcycle Christmas Bulbs

Here is a great way to reuse your old Christmas bulbs in all Seasons or just as a fun centerpiece! It is so easy and very cheap ;)
First I took my old bulbs used an old paintbrush to add a layer of mod podge onto the bulb (and glue should work). I then used a paper plate filled with glitter color of choice to cover the entire bulb.
After covering the bulb I sprayed an adhesive spray so the glitter would stay without flaking off. This is optional, but if you don't want glitter falling everywhere I definitely suggest it.
Then fill any container of your choice to make a neat decoration! Since it is spring I chose certain colors, but you could of course do green and silver for St. Patrick's day, Christmas colors, even Halloween! Whatever you want :)
Here are a couple of ways I used them :)
