WOW! Now that's a great idea! What a way to recycle those things, especially out here where you have to pay to take your trash to the commissary.
Thanks for sharing that... do you have more?

Here How I do the Light Bulbs
I use Loo Paper and PVA Glue {The glue is White when wet, Drys Clear}
Wrap Wire or String around the Metle Cap {Screw or Bayonet cap}
Make Sure your Light bulb is Clean and Dry
Mix a little bit of water with your PVA Glue
Seperate the layers of Loo Paper and Tear into Strips
Smear some thined PVA on the Bulb and place Loo Paper on, Do it in Strips as it is Easyer to get a flat fiinsh
Leave to Dry Between Layers {I do Two to Three}
More to Follow, Please Give it a try and Please let me know if you have any more Questions
Thanks

Take a look over at Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/) to see what they charge for selling. Their motto is all things handmade. You might get something going from over there. Personally, I do not like eBay because you can spend much more than you make.
Comparing my profit to my costs for listing, I just consider the fees I spend on eBay as a way of buying advertising for that time period. Generally, things don't sell on eBay (for me anyway) like they used to back about 9 years ago. |

Sure!
I think it is like .20 cents for every item that you post and 3.5 % for every item that you sell. You can set up a store for free too. |
