Step 1

Begin by forming the outer shape of the bulb. To do this, roll out a section of purple dough until it is long enough to create your outside shape.

Step 2

Next, create the base of the bulb by using small sections of purple dough to close the open end of your bulb shape.

Step 3

Create the filament for your light bulb using yellow dough and white insulating dough. Make sure your yellow pieces only touch the white insulating dough.

Step 4

Insert the short legs of the LEDs into the yellow piece on the left and the longer legs into the yellow piece on the right.

Step 5

Last, insert the red wire from the battery holder into the yellow piece of dough on the right and the black wire into the yellow piece of dough on the left. Turn on the battery holder to light up your light bulb!
