Do you need to make some primitive looking silicone bulbs?
I use this recipe to do both the electric taper bulbs and the night light bulbs.
I took some clear silicone (the higher priced one, not the white caulk
kind) and mixed in some cinnamon spice in a throw away bowl.
Just mix it until it's a nice smooth brown color. No real recipe here.
Just play around with it.
It should look something like this:

| TWIRL it with one motion in the mixture. I tie a string to the ends so when they are wet I can easily hang them up. |
 |
| And I use a closepin to clip them up to dry. |
AND HERE IS THE LITTLE BATTERY OPERATED CANDLE BULBS:
BEFORE:
And after I bought a few dozen of these, I realized they have a green flame:
Then I took the little candles, one by one, and hand dipped each
flame.
I just stuck it in, twirled it once and pulled it straight out,
in an upward motion.
Kinda fast, so that it gives a nice tip to the
flame.
I let them sit and dry in the sun for a few hours. It took longer than I
thought for the 100% silicone to dry. But well worth the time.
Then after they were finally dry, the bottoms were ready to grubby on up!
