Recycled Light Bulb Duck

Recycled Light Bulb Duck

By Jane Lake and Twila Lenoir

Cheerful light bulb duck would make a great Easter decoration or whimsical homemade gift.

Consider dressing him up for Christmas with a plaid scarf instead of ribbon, a red hat, and a light dusting of fake snow.

Craft Supplies:

  • old light bulb
  • thin ribbon
  • tiny straw hat
  • yellow feathers
  • half black bead, or plastic eyes
  • three small white buttons
  • scrap of orange craft foam
  • rubbing alcohol
  • small piece of orange sculpey clay
  • yellow model car paint or perm enamel paint

__________

Instructions:

1. Wipe the bulb with rubbing alcohol. Paint your light bulb with either yellow perm enamel by Delta or yellow car paint. Let dry.

2. Take a small piece of Sculpey clay and form the beak with a turned up point. Bake at 275 degrees for 20 minutes and set aside.

Editor’s note: an alternative to clay would cut a small piece of orange fun foam as the beak.

3. Glue the hat to the top of the bulb, over the metal threads. Trim the hat with ribbon and a small bow. Glue on the eyes and beak.

4. Glue a long yellow feather to each side of the duck as wings. Glue a small piece of ribbon around the neck and three buttons down the front.

5. Finally, for the duck’s feet, cut a heart shape out of orange craft foam. Glue the bottom of the light bulb to the center of the heart. Enjoy!
