Smile Adorable Lightbulb Snowman Christmas Ornament

These are so cute and easy to make. A friend at work received one as a gift and I've been collecting lightbulbs all year so I can make a bunch as gifts...really cute. Hope you all enjoy them...instructions are printable.

That is so cute, I wish I could freehand paint better. Hard to tell what kind of face he will end up with. LOL

********...lol...me too!

I think I'm going to use a fine point black marker instead of trying to paint the eyes and mouth!

Thanks so much. I try to make some ornament for each kid and grandkid each year and these are soooooooo cute!!! Also can be easily personalized and dated. Don't have any burned out bulbs, but bought some of those "30 minute" inexpensive bulbs to do it with. Thanks again!!!

I DID IT!!! I DID IT!!!! Made four of these little cuties in a couple hours. They are soooo easy. Don't worry about freehanding the eyes and mouth. Actually the MOST difficult part is trying to get the arms to look half way even. Now I am going to venture out and buy some red spray paint and make it into a SANTA instead of a snowman. Am also going to use some curly locks and put hair on instead of hat on a white one and add some wings for an angel. Thinking about trying lace on some also, but am not really sure about that yet. The possibilities seem endless. Thanks again so much for the idea.

I just made 16 of these today. I got 4 lightbulbs for a dollar at the 99 cents store.

With regard to the hats...I took the first batch out too soon and they kind of looked like sombreros.

You really have to leave them in so that they shrink up kind of tiny. The ones I got had a ridge on the botton of the cup. It actually folded up on itself to make a brim.

I did have to toss a few of them because they shrunk too small to fit on the bulb. So then I came up with the idea of taking them out of the oven one by one and immediately putting it on the bulb. They cool really quickly and harden so you have to move quick. This way they are shaped to fit.

TOO CUTE!!!

Thanks so much for the great idea!
