DIY light bulb flower vase

When i first saw this light bulb flower vase i thought to my self and said i want to make this right know! it's such a nifty idea i found this $5 flower vase right at this link <--

What You Will Need:

• A clear incandescent light bulb (only use an incandescent bulb. Fluorescent bulbs contain mercury, which is hazardous.)
• 2 feet of 3/32-inch aluminum welding rod
• Small needle-nose pliers
• Leather work gloves
• Safety glasses
• 1/4-inch Allen wrench
• Small hammer

Step 1: Put on leather gloves and safety glasses. Go outside since this process involves breaking glass. Peel off the contact at the base of the bulb using the needle- nose pliers

Step 2: Crack the black glass at the base of the bulb by tapping it lightly with the hammer. If this doesn't work, try sticking one of the jaws of the needle-noise pliers into the hole of the black glass and twist while applying a little pressure. It requires some persistence, so keep at it.

Step 3: Insert the 1/4 inch Allen wrench into the glass tube inside the lightbulb after removing black glass, Apply some leverage to brake the glass inner tube. You may have to use a different size key depending on the bulb you are using. 

Step 4: pull out the inside of the bulb out the pliers. then create a stand by using 3/32- inch aluminum welding rod 

Step 5:  Now just add water to your vase and your done.
