These unbreakable bulbs are so simple to craft, you can string together a whole strand in a flash.

For a pattern, cut a Christmas-bulb shape from scrap paper. Trace it onto craft foam and then cut out the foam bulbs.

Attach a binder clip to the base of each bulb and remove the silver handles by pinching the sides together and sliding them out of their grooves.

For individual ornaments, thread a 10-inch length of black cording through the clip and tie a double knot just above it. Then knot the ends to create a loop for hanging. For a string of lights, use a long piece of cording and tie on one bulb at a time.
