4 Insert the light bulb fitting into the wet plaster.
5 Cut the disposable plastic cup away from the plaster when dry.
6 Draw a face and patterns on the light bulb with Posca markers.

Tip! A tip: Wash and dry the light bulb before drawing on it, thus removing any layers of grease or dirt, enabling the Posca marker to adhere optimally.
