Turn your old light bulbs into vases

Bulbs as vases

A week ago we discovered you in Decoora how the world of plants also understands trends. We showed you then three types of flowerpot with a great prominence in interior spaces, do you remember them? Today, we want to incorporate that list one more proposal, probably the most original.

Recycle light bulbs and turning them into small vases is a trend that is not going unnoticed. There are numerous DIYs that teach us how to do it. Simple projects whose interest is not so much in the step by step, as in the idea itself. If you are looking to decorate a certain corner of your home with charm, this may be a good proposal for it.

Light bulbs are pieces of glass with a shape not unlike that of some vases or vases. So why not use them as such? To reuse bulbs burned out like vases, We will only have to cut the metal button of a burned out light bulb and carefully empty its interior.

Once emptied, we will have a clean open container in which to introduce different plants. A vase with only one difference with respect to these: the lack of a flat surface that allows us to place it where we want to stand without fear of it tipping over. And at this point is where we will have to be creative.

We can use a string, wrap it around the bulb and hang it on the wall later. It is one of the most popular proposals; brings a charming bohemian touch to any corner. We can also use this same technique and frame it, as shown in the last image.

Make feet of wire or wooden supports in which holding the bulb vertically is not very complicated either. Once the bulb is fixed, we have several possibilities. The first is to partially fill it with water and place cut flowers or ivy in it. The second is to use it as a terrarium, introducing some stones, a little soil and small, easy-to-grow cacti.

Do you like this idea?
