HOW TO – Make a light bulb vase

Sam writes –

A very simple, yet elegant vase, made from a light bulb.

Recently someone came around with a free energy saving light bulb for every home. So I made something from an old burnt out bulb that the new one replaced. The bulb was hollowed out, and then suspended on a simple stand.

You need:

• a light bulb
• metal rod – I found mine in the junk box. I think it came from a filing system. Something around 3/16″
• A piece of wood. I used part of a wine case. You could use anything really. Try something interesting like drift wood.
• the basic tools: saw, drill, Dremel, pliers.

Disclaimer- Glass is sharp. Be careful. Don’t eat light bulbs. This is probably known to cause cancer in the state of California.
