Please wear safety goggles and do this project outside, as you'll be dealing with little pieces of glass that can be harmful

Make sure to securely place the floral wire around the light bulb since it does get quite heavy when filled with water

DO NOT use fluorescent/CFL bulbs in this project as they can be toxic when opened. Stick to regular incandescent light bulbs

Presentation

Ideas For The Light Bulb Vases

Hang these light bulb vases on a long floral wire strung on either side of the table. Or you can also hang them individually

A simple printable dessert label can go a long way to completing the presentation. We offer free printable dessert labels, along with the rest of the Rustic Experience Printables, that you can download here. We recommend using cover weight paper which you can find at Paper-Source. We used Luxe Blush Cover Paper from Paper Source for these printables. We also used a Doily Lace Edge Puncher from Paper Source to add embellishments to our dessert labels
