Materials

• Scissors
• Scrap cardboard (we used a cereal box)
• Glue

• Marker
• Ribbon

Instructions

1. Cut a lightbulb shape (about 3 1/2 inches wide and 6 inches tall) from the cardboard.

2. For the base of the bulb, cut out a cardboard strip (about 1 1/2 inches wide and 3 inches long), wrap it around the neck of the bulb, and glue it in place.

3. Paint the lightbulb and, once it dries, use a marker to draw threads on the bulb base and to print your conservation message. For a hanger, tape a loop of ribbon to the back of the bulb.
