Steps/Methods

1

Raw materials: light bulb, iron wire. Tools: pliers, scissors, plastic bag, screwdriver (not in the picture), knife.

2

First, use a knife to cut out the small aluminum tip of the tail of the bulb, and score it bit by bit along the boundary between the aluminum piece and the glass.

3

Use scissors to cut off the aluminum piece, and you will find a small hole left.

4

Use a blade to pry open the glass part along the hole.

5

Special reminder: This part is best done in a plastic bag. Prevent glass particles from flying around.

6

The first layer of defense was successfully broken through! Then use a screwdriver to gently punch the inside of the bulb, being careful not to shatter the bulb.

7

Dang dang... the light bulb part is completed. Next is the wire part.

8

First, use pliers to bend a small circle at one end of the wire.

9

Use pliers to hold the small circle, then find a thick pen, start from the small circle, and circle around the pen. 2-3 laps.

10

Then comes the base part. Let’s start with a right angle.

11

The circle at the base can be wrapped around a wine bottle or any columnar object.

12

Wrap the tail of the wire and fix it.

13

It is basically completed.

14

Use pliers to break it out at an angle to secure the base.

15

Try screwing the light bulb into the loop at the head of the wire. If you feel the circle is too small, you can loosen it with your hands and then tighten it.

16

Adjust the angle of the base so that the light bulb can still stand balanced even after adding water.

17

After filling with water and inserting small plants, this small light bulb vase is ready! It’s a great tool for growing pothos and money grass! Give him/her a surprise now!
