USED LIGHT BULB ideas

How about paint them, add imbelishments and a hanger and you could have:
1.      A Santa head- paint it all white, add a face, paint the top
(the socket part ) red and add a pompom to the socket for a hat!
2.      An angel - gotta do this! Just paint the entire bulb white. Paint a
round bead flesh colored, add the face features and curly hair. Glue to
the bulb, socket end. Tie a bow out of wide ribbon, raftia, for wings
and a gold halo. Add glitter to her dress if desired.
3.      Rudolph - Paint the entire bulb dark brown. Add eyes (either with paint or wiggle eyes), a red pompom for a nose and some pipe cleaners for the antlers. Some foamy makes great ears. A bow or wreath on the antlers is a nice, but not necessary, accessory.
4.      Snowman - just paint bulb white, add eyes, coal buttons (with paint) and pipe cleaner arms. Tie a "scarf" just below the socket end and a fingertip cut off a pair of knit gloves makes a cute hat.

I have used spray paint and acrylic paint to do these. Usually I spray them the base color and add details in  acrylic. Just remember to seal them with an acrylic sealer. Hot glue will work, but I suggest you use tacky glue.
