If anyone would like to share on how to make these it would be great. What type of silicon? How do you get the colors ( the shimmering gold, frosty silvers)? Can you use gallery glass on the silicon after it's on the bulb or is it something else you use to color them? Is it the same technique to make the sunburst as it is the single 'candle' bulb? I have tons of questions any help would be geat. TIA

Hey great question! I have asked this same thing on other message boards "what is the material and how do you apply it to the light bulb". Unfortunally I have never recieved a reply so I just kinda gave up.....If you find out, would you ...please pass it on to me.
I experimented with these a couple of months ago. My husband bought a generic tube of silicone from Wal-Mart for a couple of bucks. I bought a package of four low wattage (4 or 5 watt) bulbs at Wal Mart too for under $2.
Using a caulking gun, I squirted the silicone into an empty plastic container I had. Any tall thin container will work. Then I took the bulb and dipped it into the silicone almost to the metal base. I found that pulling them out quickly left the longest, thinnest silicone "flame".
I tied a string between two objects. Then I used spring type clothespins to clamp onto the bulb base and tied the clothespin to the string to allow the silicone to dry. Make sure the bulb is upside down for the silicone "flame" to remain intact.
The result were saisfactory. The "flames" weren't as smooth as the store bought; there were some bubbles in the silicone. But when lit they look great. I think if you could find some thinner silicone it would work better. Also, my husband said that he believes the silicone is sold in tubs instead of tubes which might cut down on the bulbbles.
I haven't seen the colored flames, so sorry I can't help out there.
