Craft Time: Lightbulb Ornaments

 ~Here's a fun and simple craft I started for Christmas. It's really inexpensive and works great as a unique gift for Christmas exchanges. All you need is an old (I used new light bulbs because they were only from the dollar store and I had no burnt out ones on hand) and acrylic paint. Once I'm done their faces I will add tiny hats, mittens, or scarves as an added touch.
Merry Christmas and Happy Crafting!
 As you can see I haven't finished mine yet, the only one with a finished face is Rudolph.
 Frosty's face has been drawn on with a felt tip marker so I can plan out what I'm going to paint. I also use marker for the eyelashes and lids as it's a lot easier then trying to get a precise brush stroke.

I haven't added anything to hang them from the tree yet but wire or string would work.
