Abstract: A glitter vacuum for reclaiming otherwise wasted glitter particles includes a hollow housing having a motorized vacuum impeller therein. A vacuum nozzle is secured to an air intake port on a first end of the housing. A removable glitter receiving jar is secured to a glitter discharge opening on a lower surface of the housing. An angularly positioned deflector plate within the housing interior directs glitter from the vacuum nozzle into the glitter jar. The deflector plate is impermeable but for a plurality of peripherally disposed apertures that allow the passage of air while deflecting glitter and similar larger particles. A pair of filters are positioned between the deflector plate and impeller for trapping particulates that may inadvertently circumvent the plate.

Abstract: A light string with personalizable light covers. The light string includes multiple individual light bulb assemblies each including a light bulb electrically connected to a light bulb socket and having a light bulb housing secured over each light bulb assembly. The light bulb housings each have a slide out bottom panel provided with airflow apertures therethrough for allowing cooling of the housing as well as allowing replacement of the light bulb therein as needed and also have a three sided, picture frame style transparency holder.
