Solar Lamps!
What you will need
Small mouth mason jars
Solar garden lights
Hot glue gun
I only removed the stem of the light, but you can also remove the clear plastic base that the solar light attaches to.
Run a bead of hot glue around the rim of the jar
and...
place the light on top.
This is a much safer way to illuminate an outdoor area rather than candles.
They can easily be taken apart if you need the jars, or decide to put them back on the stem for another purpose.

Oh my goodness this is such a great idea. I am so excited to try this. Thanks!! I am new here and so glad to have discovered your blog!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteThe stems always break on those darn solar lights. Maybe its the heat around here or something. This would be a way to use the part that still works!
We have always steered clear of those darn solar lights because they fall over so easily -- the stems don't seem sturdy enough. This would be a great way to remedy the situation and have something much more attractive. Such a great idea!

What a wonderful idea this would be for our farm! We need something to brighten up the dark winters--and I think this will work! Why didn't I think of it?
