Decorative Light Bulb Balls

• Disposable foam brush
• 5-inch-diameter plastic-foam ball
• Acrylic paint in the same color as the bulbs
• C9- or C7- Christmas bulbs
• Glue gun and hotmelt adhesive

 

1. Use the foam brush to coat the plastic-foam ball with acrylic paint. Let dry.
2. Insert the screw end of a lightbulb into the foam ball until the glass touches the ball.
3. Remove the bulb and apply a drop of hot glue to the end of the bulb. Immediately reinsert the bulb into the hole.
4. Working outward from the first bulb, continue attaching bulbs in the same manner until the ball is covered with bulbs.
