In this episode Ilysa shows you how to make fun salt & pepper shakers. they are perfect for hostess gifts and can be made to go with any decor. Have fun!
***in response to Francis’s comment, below*** Francis, the lightbulb Ilysa is talking about was covered with clay, baked, and then the bulb was crushed and pulled out from inside the clay and thrown out. There is a large light-bulb “lamp” that is a novelty piece, that she also covered with clay and left the lightbulb inside and the lamp actually does turn on. The wattage on that is not high, and the important thing is that the lightbulb was so large, and it actually was the “lampshade” and did not get hot to the touch. So it could be covered with clay and plugged in and used. Polymer clay makes a great lampshade as long as it is far enough away from the heat source that it won’t burn or catch on fire. Just use common sense and you should be fine. We don’t think a regular light bulb could be covered in clay and used.

Hi!
I was curious about your covered light bulb. What wattage is it? I think its a GREAT idea, but I’m worried about the bulb getting hot after a while. What would you advise?
Thanks, Frances
