Recycled Light bulbs hot air balloons





These hot air balloons are so cute! You'd never know they were actually recycled light bulbs. 




Head over to Rook No. 17 to check out this great tutorial on how to create one of your own. It’d be a great way to use up some of the that fabric stash I’m sure you have. (Right? Not just me?) Lots of possibilities for a kid’s room, or just an awesome room
