Supplies:
Directions:
1 Start with any size or shape burned out light bulb. Sand it lightly with sandpaper so the paint will adhere better. Paint the glass with a base coat of white acrylic paint.
2 Holding the light bulb with the skinnier side up, paint a 1 - 1 1/2" circle in beige or flesh on the wider part of the bulb for Santa's face.
3 Paint snow textured paint over the white paint.
4 Paint facial features and rosy cheeks on the beige. Tip: The rosy cheeks can be done with lipstick.
5 Paint the metal portion of the bulb red for Santa's hat.
6 Finish off by glueing a cotton ball on the very top of the hat. Also glue some stretched cotton around the base of the hat. Hot glue a piece of red ribbon to hang by.

An illustration of the finished ornament would be helpful for those of us who are "visual" learners.
