Recycle Your Old Light Bulbs Into Vases

Filed under: Storage & Organization, Know-How, Living Spaces

We are always looking for new ways to use household items. In our search, we stumbled upon this creative idea -- a light bulb vase!

Ready Made

We have to hand it to Ready Made, this is genius! Not only is it a super savvy way to repurpose -- which we love to do -- but it looks great too! By hollowing out a light bulb and creating an aluminum rod stand, you can make a perfect new home for a house plant -- and yes, recycle in style. Not only is this a great way to get extra use out of burnt-out light bulbs, we think it makes a pretty perfect on-the-cheap housewarming gift.

Visit Ready Made to get the full step-by-step instructions so you can get started!
