First, saw the point of the electrical contact off of the light bulb, then use a screwdriver and pliers, and remove the inside completely, you should be left with just the glass bulb and the metal cap. Get 4 round pieces of decorative wood, then glue them together to create a base for the light bulb, and adhere the bulb on top slightly slanted. Fill the bulb with pebbles, sand, soil, and moss, then give the moss a few drops of water, and add a few small decorative elements inside before closing the bulb’s cap with a wooden peg.
