Set the scene for atmospheric lighting decoration - with decorative light bulbs. Whether in your home or in your garden and terrace, a stylish lighting gives your home a special atmosphere.

Colouring light bulbs

To color some light bulbs, pour yellowish Handicraft paint into a light bulb and then slowly swivel the bulb so that the color spreads well. For the bluish light bulb, repeat this with a blue Handicraft paint. In our example, for the yellowish light bulb we have placed Handicraft paint in Buttercupand for the bluish light bulb Handicraft paint turquoise blue and Ice blue mixed and these also filled in and the pears swivelled.

Decorate a light chain

For the next step, you will need a 3 mm steel drill bit , which you use to drill larger holes in the sockets for five bulbs. Now you can put 2-3 lights of the light chain into each bulb. Leave the wire between each bulb with a small lamp as a distance. Fix the light chain wire to the sockets with some hot glue . Now you can carefully decorate the bulbs in a glass vase.
You can now design the glass vase with Washi Tape as you wish

Tip: It is best to hide the battery compartment under the top light bulb as a last step. This way you can reach the switch easily, although the battery compartment is not visible.
