Solar lights are a great way to add a touch of ambiance just about anywhere once the sun goes down. They come with a little stake for putting them into the ground, but what about those places where a stake isn’t a good option, like on a porch? Dawn at Creative Cain Cabin discovered that solar lights can be easily fit onto the tops of jars, creating a quick and easy solar lantern that will work just about anywhere! She used mason jars, but with solar lights coming in so many different sizes and designs these days, you may be able to find jars in your recycling bin that fit well with whatever lights you happen to have available. And when you’re done using them, they are easily disassembled, so you can reuse the jars and lights for future projects! [how to make DIY solar jar lights]
Project estimate:
