  1. good idea but sorry to say not teach step by step not unserstand your tutorial

  2. Only Fluorescent light bulbs have mercury in them. Incandenscent lights are harmless.

  3. Can you use anything besides ice cream sticks?

  4. I made 6 of these today, but instead of the popsicle sticks I used clear, flat marbles (4 per bulb). It’s not as kindergarten-like.:) I also didn’t paint or add any of the pebbles, but put water with food coloring in it. I now have all 6 of them in rainbow formation in my room.:)

    Those are made with the gift wrapping sheets. used them in the same way as to use ribbon to get a rose flower… hope you know that 😀
