Preparing Lightbulb

First grab your pliers. Take them and start to grab at the black piece on the part of the bulb that goes up. Pry at this until the black pieces break. Make sure to be wearing safety protection because this stuff is sharp. Once the black part is removed, take the tweezers and poke them into the opening.This should break the part that actually lights up. Then turn it upside down and shake out the contents.

Now that the bulb is empty you now will need to fill it up. Take some sand and place it at the bottom on the bulb. Then take some dirt and place it on top of the sand. Now it is time to add the moss. It is a good idea to moisten it first to make it last longer. Then carefully grab it with your tweezers and add it to the top of the sand/dirt mixture.

Done!
