I inserted an image of the lightbulb and removed the background.

Then inserted an image of the eyes and mouth and placed it in the lightbulb.

Inserted an image of the leg/foot and clicked on outline and set it to zero.

I then put the outline under the image of the lightbulb, so i could see where i wanted the holes to be.

I right clicked on the leg/foot and did a copy and paste, so i have 2 legs/feet. Then i highlighted one and clicked on reflect, horizontal, so i have 2 opposite legs/feet.

Then i inserted a small circle and placed it under the top part of the leg. I copied and pasted the circle 3 times more,

and placed the other circle on the top part of the other leg. I grouped them, so they can't move.

The other 2 circles i place on the bottom part of the lightbulb.

I highlighted the lightbulb and clicked on outline and set it to zero. I unmarked the inner line.

Since the hanging part on top was closed, I inserted a half circle and adjusted it so it would fit in the hanging part.

After it was engraved and cut out, I colored the lightbulb and the legs/feet with sharpie markers.

Then i used the hoop rings, to attach each leg to the lightbulb and also added one on the top.

Added a rope to the top ring and it's ready to hang.
