It is leap year day, and we here at Thornlite have some environmentally friendly, lighting ideas for you to  use and make on your extra day!

Be green and clean:

1. Chandelier made of empty wine bottles.

Tip: cutting wine bottles easily (http://jaimelyn11.blogspot.com/2011/07/cutting-glass.html)
Wrap yard around the wine bottle six times, take the yard off, dip it in cutex remover, put it back onto the bottle and set lite, let the yarn burn for twenty seconds or so and then dip into a vat of ice cold water, be sure to sand the rough edges when done.

2. Use old light bulbs as small vases:
