What You’ll Need:
– Christmas light bulbs

– A clear adhesive
– String or ribbon for hanging
Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Your Starry Christmas Bulb Craft:
1. Prepare the Light Bulbs: Start by cleaning your light bulbs thoroughly to ensure a smooth painting surface. Remove any existing bulbs or ornaments if present.
2. Paint the Bulbs: Begin by painting the light bulbs with a base color of your choice. For a realistic starry sky, consider using shades of blue, black, and dark purple. Let the paint dry completely.
3. Create the Starry Sky: Once the base color is dry, it’s time to add the stars. Use a fine brush to paint tiny white dots all over the bulbs. For the Milky Way, paint a long, wavy line in a lighter shade of blue. If desired, add a few shooting stars by painting small white streaks.
4. Embellish with Sequins: After the paint is dry, sprinkle golden sequins over the bulbs. Gently press them down to ensure they stick properly. The sequins will add a shimmering effect, making the starry sky even more captivating.
5. Secure the Sequins: Apply a clear adhesive to the back of the sequins to ensure they stay in place. Allow the adhesive to dry completely.
6. Reassemble the Bulbs: If you removed the bulbs from the strings, reassemble them now. Make sure the bulbs are securely attached to the string or ribbon.
7. Hang the Decorations: Find a suitable spot on your classroom window or wall to hang your Starry Christmas Bulb Craft. The dreamy starry sky will instantly transform the space into a mysterious and romantic atmosphere.
8. Enjoy the Magic: Once the decorations are in place, turn on the lights and watch as your classroom transforms into a wonderland of magical colors. The students will be mesmerized by the beauty of the starry sky.
