Make a unique light feature with recycled bulbs
Giving up old-style bulbs but not sure what to do with the collection you've stockpiled over the years? Why not use them to create a really stylish light feature.
The 'bright idea' comes from Bulbs Unlimited, a website dedicated to recycling bulbs. There's a six-step tutorial here on how to make the funky light object pictured above, which essentially uses old bulbs as the shades for new, eco-friendly ones. And if this one isn't to your taste, there's a whole gallery of alternative styles here. [Via Crafty Crafty]

These look really great - we're going to look into getting them for our online shop - could help people make the transition to low energy bulbs also!
