How to make a set of ‘Weeble’ salt & pepper shakers out of old light bulbs.
By DIY Maven
One way to recycle those old incandescent light bulbs is by making a pair of salt and pepper shakers out of them. Supplies are minimal and include:
- 2 incandescent light bulbs
- 12- 3/8" (cleaned!) hex nuts
- about ½ cup hard wax (I’d probably use paraffin wax; they stuff they use for canning.)
- 2 soda bottle caps
The tools used to tackle this project are:
- gloves
- goggles
- hacksaw
- double boiler
- drill
- 5/64" drill bit
