Because I have this.... "No Problem, We Can Make It" atttitude, I came up with this great idea to make silicone light bulbs instead of buying them! Great! Awesome! No problem! So I researched many sites on the web and found a few that gave directions on how to create these masterpieces! haha ... let me just say again... haha! Okay, so one site says to use the silicone one way and the other site says to do it another way and another site says to not do it either way! So confused now I decided to kinda mix and match my own way! And yes, it worked! Only, my tails aka the wick didn't look so hot! I was expecting this glorious outcome just by dipping my bulb into the silicone, whirl it around a bit, quickly pull out the bulb from the silicone and theennnnn violá I have a nub! haha.. yep, a nub. I had frowned and decided to try it again. UH huh.... again this is not going very well so by the 4th bulb I became a litle bit more irritated and decided to not play nice anymore!! I whirled the bulb around pulled it out and *sigh* same thing! ~Before I go any further I must tell you that the smell was horrific... I mean it really takes your breath away~ Moving on, my hubby walks through the kitchen, stands there and gives me so pointers, while at the same time asking me why I am making such a face. I'm like seriously... because this smells awful. His response "I don't smell anything" really? really Troy you smell nothing? Hmmm.... well perhaps you need to get closer. So my sweet loving husband dips a bulb gets his whiffer a little closer to the goo and pulls away! Laughing I simply say... "I told you so" HAHA... Together, we did end up making a few salvageable bulbs. But it is just the begining of trial and error. I haven't given up, but I had to move on to yet another "project"!
