DIY - Recycled light bulb hanging vases
These hanging lightbulb vases are so charming and ridiculously easy. Grouped together they make quite an elegant statement!
Step One: Using fine-tooth metal saw - gently saw the bottom of light bulb. Pull out the fillaments.
Step Two: Using a hand held drill place metal against some scrap wood and poke two holes opposite from each other.
Step Three: Lace thin wire through the holes and tie off at desired legnth. Fill with lovely blooms!
Also makes cute salt and pepper shakers. Most soda caps are the correct width for a top. Just fill, poke holes and enjoy!
I love this idea!

Great idea about the mini-vases! I'd be wary of the salt and pepper dispensing though: they're too easily breakable. Excellent post (and blog)...
