Only Fluorescent light bulbs have mercury in them. Incandenscent lights are harmless.
Can you use anything besides ice cream sticks?
I made 6 of these today, but instead of the popsicle sticks I used clear, flat marbles (4 per bulb). It's not as kindergarten-like.:) I also didn't paint or add any of the pebbles, but put water with food coloring in it. I now have all 6 of them in rainbow formation in my room.:)
Those are made with the gift wrapping sheets. used them in the same way as to use ribbon to get a rose flower... hope you know that :D
what's the story with the flowers in the lightbulb? they look very interesting. i would like to know how they were made! any thoughts? = )
Is it safe to open up a light bulb - poisonous gases and such?? Looks very nice, though
nice =D next time i wont throw out those burnt out bulbs....
