DIY: Lace Light Bulbs


Spray paint a doily onto a light bulb or use a silver pen and draw your own designs. When the light shines through, it will cast a beautiful pattern on your walls.

  2. Nope...not when dry. But I would suggest using a high temperature spray-paint such as:

  3. i'm confused if you layed a doily over a light bulb and then spray painted it, wouldn't it look opposite of the above picture

  4. Yes you are correct -- this DIY is merely a suggestion for painting light blubs. You can draw your own design with high temperature paints or use stencils and spray to achieve a similar pattern. Check the link to the picture above if you want the exact patterned light bulb.

    Thanks for the comment!

  11. I guess I can use some MacTac, or any adhesive paper, to create the stencil, spray paint and the remove the adhesive paper!
