Old Fashion Bubble Lights

[Tampa Doll]

I purchased a bubble light pattern for a friend here, and I thought I would buy one for my self, as I do remember these on our tree.

 

I made the first on like the pattern in ww yarn.  It was 10 inches tall.  I was not really happy with it, so I made one in thread.  It came out about 3-4 1/2 inches tall.

 

Here is a picture of the two of them.  I am planning on making a few more in thread.

 

This is the one made with WW yarn.

 

 Here are the two side by side.

Those are really cute and what a size difference between the WW and thread!

Cute- cute- cute! You did a fine job as usual.

I still have some of the bubble lights and when I get very ambitious decorating my tree I use them still. Sure brings back holiday memories.

Very cute but the 10 inch one does seem awfully big if you want to put it on the tree.

Very cute. I have bubblers on my tree every year, I love them.

[ddc]

I've never heard of a bubbler, but it's cute.

[pineknott]

I remember those fondly

What a cute ornament.The thread one is a really nice size for the tree.

[Tampa Doll]

Thank you all.  I remember watching those lights on the tree.  The one thing I do remember is that they got very hot.

 

I have seen them in the stores and thought of getting a set for my tree.

The pattern is from Ravelry it is called Christmas Bubble Lights.

 

You will see next to the smilie face, a letter A click on that and you can choose a color for your letters.  You highlight you letters first.

Mary Jo- I also use them sometimes with garland on the fireplace mantle. Looks so pretty.

So cute!  The thread one is just about 'life size'.  I think I have some bubble lights in the bottom of a box somewhere, I'll have to dig them out.  Haven't used them since we got an artificial pre-lit tree...

[Cathoms]

Oh...I love these.  Very very cute. 

 

  I still use some bubble lights on my small tree.   They are the new ones so they don't get soo hot.

[shuttlebuggy]

I loved these! And yours is perfect!

[howieann]

Those are adorable!

[Tampa Doll]

Thank you all.  I hope to get a few done to send to my sister.  When I find something from our Childhood, I try to send it to her.

 

You are right Cathoms, they really did get hot.

I remember my grandmothers tree had the bubble lights. These sure brought back memories!
