How to make a paper weight

After use when the ink of a ball pen is exhausted we throw it. Collect 10/12 empty ball pens and a discarded electric bulb. Now with the help of a nail and a hammer break the pitch coating of the bulb. Take care so that brass rim is intact. Now push the nail deeper by revolving movement; break the inner glass structure. Then bring out these glass pieces and thin wires.
Now insert the pieces of ball pen into the bulb. And then heat the bulb with a spirit lamp slowly. After sometime the ball pens will start to melt.
Note: The melted materials must not be raised up to the 3/4 th part of the electric bulb!
After melted, rest the bulb in a cool place. When the bulb is perfectly cold give it a mild beating with a hammer and beautiful semi-spherical plastic paper weight will come out.
