Thermoformed Christmas Lights | Bulb Containers

Christmas series model #3 — more coming before December gets here!Hang a string of retro bulbs on your tree, except these ones open up 🎄 Each light is a mesh thermoformed shell in the classic big-bulb shape, topped with a silver screw-base cap. The two halves clip shut with a small connector — NO glue — so you can pop it back open and refill it whenever you want.

The cap has a small loop on top, so a length of twine runs straight through a row of them and you have a garland. Red, yellow, and blue is the classic combo, but anything on your shelf works.

The mesh lets the candy peek through, which is really what makes this one land as a gift. Fill it, clip it, hand it over. Three sizes included:

- Small — around 65mm tall

- Medium — around 100mm tall, this is my usual size

- Big — around 140mm tall

Perfect for:

- Candy, chocolates, and small sweets

- Tree ornaments — thread twine through the cap loop

- Mantel, shelf, or window garlands

- Stocking stuffers and office gift exchanges

- Party favors on a holiday table

🛠️ Printing Notes

- Prints flat, no supports

- Mold in PETG, bulb halves and cap in PLA

- Silver filament is what sells the screw base — metallic PLA looks great here

- Use even heat when forming so the mesh keeps its shape

- Print three in different colors and string them together

Festive, hollow, and giftable — the third of many holiday thermoforms. Happy printing 🎄
