Do you have any old, vintage Christmas lights hanging around the attic? The ones your parents probably hung on the house when you were a kid.
I’ve rounded about 20 bright ideas for these vintage bulbs that do NOT involve electricity. A little crafty spirit is mostly all you’ll need to make something beautiful (and safe) from those big, old vintage Christmas bulbs.
This easy garland idea simply strings the bulbs together with festive butcher’s twine.
Use a paint pen to write the gift recipient’s name on the bulb, or just use the bulb as a gift topper.
Those bulbs can still look beautiful on the Christmas tree, just not while lit.

I love these clear vintage bulbs filled with a wintery scene, like mini-snow globes.
