Christmas Decorating: Ideas for young and old

Turn a plain Colored Bulb into a keepsake Christmas tree Ornament.

How well did your last years plain colored bulbs holdup since packing um away!

Are you tired of buying bulbs year after year? 

2 reasons to use newspapers this time in your packing process!

1. Because its normally free. Just ask friends and family for the newspapers..

2. Newspapers may not be light but the box is not being shipped across country so weight don't matter.

One way to use colored bulbs for decorating!
     Lets start with a variation of large colored bulbs 12 per box.

Select your favorite color: Green, Blue, Red, Yellow, and Silver.

Supplies needed:
Colored Bulbs, Elmer's white Glue, and Various Fine Colored Glitter. 

Note: 

fine glitter sticks to glue better than courser types.

Start with the name of someone from the group.

Your son or daughter maybe a grandson or granddaughter, niece or nephew start with someones name.

Are you one of those parents who thought giving a long name to your son or daughter sounded cool at the time, but the name will not fit on the colored bulb!

Well then write this years date: @example: 2015

• 1. Write a name or date with Elmer's glue on any bulb.
• 2. While the glue is wet; sprinkle with favorite colored fine glitter.
• 3. Find a place and let glue and glitter dry untouched.

Note: 

please allow 1+ hour to dry thoroughly.
remembering these colored bulbs are very fragile.

Since packing away Christmas decorations season.
Yes you soon see how well your packing process is working!
You'll open up those boxes stored away since last season.
Now as you unpack all those smaller boxes of boxed decoration.

Now this year begins the time to remember who made what and remembering who made this or that colored bulb. Was the bulb made in school or was it a bulb you made with your children at home.

Enjoy opening your keepsake year after year!
