We have made it to Day 15 of the Mini Amigurumi Advent and for today's project we have a cute Christmas Light Bulb with a little smiling face.
As I was coming up with the designs for this series I wanted all of them to be small and fairly quick to make, with the idea that each one could easily be made in a day. Some of the designs have lots of pieces, arms, legs, clothes, hats, etc., but I wanted to make sure to throw a few in really simple patterns too and this little Christmas Light is one of those.
The little light bulb is only about 3" tall, and made of two pieces. First there is the light bulb, which you can make in any color you want. And then there is a little gray piece that is the screw part of the light bulb.
You can make just one, or make a whole strand of lights in different colors.
