I'm looking to make them. I found a "recipe" on line that says to get a fresh tube of silicone & dip the bulbs in it, or twist them to be "fancy" but I find the silicone to be very hard to work with. It's very stiff, so I tried heating it up a bit to make it liquify & it only made it harder to work with, actually made it stiff. Any suggestions or recipes you can share? I'd like to make my own, they are expensive on line. Thanks!

You people are crazy! I'm looking to enhance the those tiny little night lights for a softer effect so the bulb is not so bright & it looks like a candle. I think you need to READ & reasearch the question before you comment in such a negative manner. Please move on to another question if you cannot answer nicely.

I am guessing you are talking about ones with silicone rubber patterns sticking to the otuside of the glass bulb to make them look like candles. There are room-temperature-vulcanizing silicone rubbers sold in tubes with a variety of different viscosities and drying times. See the link below to get started
Heat evaporates that vinegary-smelling component and makes the rubber harden faster so don't use that to make it flow easier.

You are aware of the attempt to green the enviornment and so you are going to grabe some silicone and try to muckle up some light bulbs. Oh good idea... that's responsible adult behavior! NOT.
