These penguin light bulb ornaments are the coolest. This is the perfect way to upcycle light bulbs into Christmas ornaments. The light bulb shape is perfect for penguins.

To make:

These penguin light bulb ornaments require a few layers of paint, but are easy enough to make. To start clean the glass bulb with rubbing alcohol. Next paint 2-3 coats of white paint over the clean glass body of the bulb. Allow time to dry between each coat to avoid paint drips. Once your white paint is looking nice and opaque then paint on the black tuxedo. Paint on the penguin eyes, beak and sweet cheek blush. For the hanger, knot a string into a loop and hot glue it to the cap of the bulb.

Optional step – penguin hat

You can leave your penguin ornament as is, or if you’d like you can add a hat. We suggest using a child’s sock for this. Cut the closed side of the sock and place it on the penguin’s head at the cap of the bulb. Glue it on to the cap with a glue gun. Tie a ribbon around the hat and fringe the ends with scissors.
