I thought they looked old. Awesome idea! I bought some bulbs at a yard sale this summer. It was $6 for 6 boxes. I don’t think they realized they were old. They weren’t as pretty as yours but I like them and they were in good shape.The 2nd photo is all vintage Shiny Brite or other similar ornaments. I had several boxes of cast offs I was going to donate but then I saw photos of wreaths others had made from old ornaments that weren't quite perfect anymore, so I wired them to a foil wreath and made my own version.
I didn't know I could. Youtube randomly recommended a video to me showing how to make them. Very easy, only 4 ingredients and a microwave!
