Incandescent lightbulbs may be going out of style in the world of electrics, but the world of DIY and decor is happily embracing them instead! One of our favorite ways to repurpose burnt-out incandescent lightbulbs is as miniature terrariums. Use them as a DIY project for your bridal shower or as decoration for your rustic wedding (added bonus, they can double as wedding favors!). However you choose to use them, you can rest easy knowing that you’re doing you’re helping reduce landfill waste AND to bring more beauty to the world. It’s a win-win for sure.
