A green light for DIY planters

Your old incandescent light bulbs have a bright future awaiting them, and all that it takes to get there is a little tinkering.  A small movement has recently sprung up, where people are converting used light bulbs into vases, terrariums, and other small homes for carefully managed greenery. 

The results of these efforts are often quite stunning.  Such outcomes are easily within reach of the everyday tinkerer, as can be seen in the many tutorials that can be found online.  

It is great to observe how creative approaches to reuse are not only keeping products with us for longer, but they are also adding beauty and life to both homes and workplaces.  

For further discussions on this project as well as handy step-by-step guides, head over to Instructables.
