Homemade Christmas bulbs (tutorial)

Recently our church got some new hymnals.
Which meant we had several old ones laying around the church.
I took a few home and made a gift for the ladies for the church.

First I ripped out the Christmas songs from two old hymnals and cut them into strips.



Then I wound  them around a pencil top...



and put them (while still wound tightly) inside the clear bulb.



once in a shook it around a little to loosen it up a little.. like so....


I repeated this until I felt that there were enough.
I did random songs.... each bulb received a few different 
hymns. This is the finished product.

I was really pleased with how they turned out. 
I hope they look at these and have fond memories of the beautiful 
hymns they have sang over the years from this songbook.
These hymnals were also the same ones I had at my first church ever so, I am extra happy to have one too!

I can not take full credit for this idea.
I seen THIS  on Pinterest one day..
My bulb evolved from there.

Happy Crafting!
