This item was bought about 25 years ago, and didn't seem to come with any packaging, so we are not quite certain as to the original purpose. Basically it is a neoprene bulb cover, neoprene being a kind of rubber that is heat resistant. We think that this was designed as a simple was of converting a normal light bulb to a red light bulb, if you wanted some romantic soft lighting for a party. Afterwards you can peel the neoprene off, and the light goes back to normal. However as the neoprene can be easily cut with a pair of scissors, it also lends itself to having designs and images cut in it, which is what Tim has done here.
