This lightbulb tree ornament is the cleverest craft we've seen

We’re always on the lookout for inexpensive crafts that can be made using bits you find around the house.

These adorable lightbulb decorations are super easy to make, look fab dangling from the Christmas tree and make wonderful presents for friends and family.

What you will need:

Lightbulbs

String or ribbon

Glitter

Glue

Sequins

Paint

Imagination!

How to make:

1. The kids simply choose their lightbulb shape and get creative!

2. The shape of the bulbs are perfect to create painted characters like snowmen, Santa Clause and penguins.

3. Kids can personalise the decorations by writing their name on them or the name of the person they want to give it to.

4. For a ‘blingy’ ornament the kids simply need to paint the bulb with glue and dab on glitter and sequins.

5. When the bulb is decorated and dried simply turn upside down, wrap the top with string or ribbon and tie into a bow.

There you have it – the best use of old lightbulbs we’re ever seen!
