When it comes to decorating the light bulbs on the outside of the house there are a huge number of ways of doing this.
Below are some samples of how I have decorated the lights on other houses.

| The image on the left is decorated with orange silk flowers, wire and beads using a white light. The image on the right is decorated with pink silk flowers, fishing line and beads using a white light. |

| The image on the left is a flower made from plastic flowers, optic fiber and beads using a yellow light. The image on the right shows flowers made from black plastic grapes, plastic plants and using an orange light. |
For my Shadow House I am going to decorate the blue lights exactly like the image above using the black grapes and plastic plants. Because these two house will be close together (sort of) I feel it would be alright to have the same sort of plant. I am just changing the colour light bulb.

| Using a black plastic grape over the blue bulb. |
I start with a black plastic grape placed over the blue light bulb. I then stick a stiff plastic tube (a Yakult straw) inside. I then glue these together using the Tiger Grip glue I purchased from Spotlight. This glue glues most plastics (not all) together.

| The base of the grape flowers is finished. The image on the left is unlit and the image on the right is lit. |

| This is the finished plant although saying that I believe I will darken the green leaves. |
