Nailpolish Christmas Bulbs

If you guys are anything like me, then you'll love this super EASY way to make your own Christmas bulbs. It's a fun way to get the kids involved too! I got this idea from SayAnythingBrooke from Youtube!

All you need is:

You can find these bulbs at most craft stores!

• Clear Bulbs (Glass or Plastic)
• Nail polish
• Paper towels
• Ribbon (optional)

First make sure you are in a well ventilated room, because the nail polish will start to get stinky!


Next, put a few layers of paper towels down on the flat surface you will be working on. Just in case you have a few spills.


Get your bulbs out, and take the top off of them, making sure to put it aside because you will need to recap it later! Also keep the container the bulbs came in so we can use this to store our bulbs while they are drying.


Now, pick out some of your nail polishes, preferably the cheaper ones because you will be using about half of the bottle for these bulbs.  Also, you want to pick different colors or ones that have glitter so your bulbs will stand out.


Now, all you've got to do is pour the nail polish inside the bulb. 
Start out with a generous amount, and just keep turning the bulb until the polish starts to get tacky and stops moving. (This does take patience, as this can take several minutes to completely coat the inside of the bulb). Now when you have covered the entire inside of the bulb, you can add a different color or you can stop there!




All you've got to do is put the bulb, top first back into the container they came in. This way all the excess polish will drain out. (Make sure to leave the tops of the bulbs off overnight)


Leave the bulbs overnight!

*Notice how the bulbs are upside down so the polish can drain out

Now this last step is optional. I added some ribbon to my bulbs. Simply cut off some of your ribbon, and make a bow around the top. Make sure to put the top back on, and now you can hang it from your tree!!!


These make great gifts for someone who is hard to     buy for and has everything. Also a great gift for those nail polish lovers, put their favorite nail polish in the bulb and they can enjoy it hanging on their tree!!
