Tip:An Easy fix for lighting up outside lanterns without using candles

A tip for those who buy open lanterns to hang on shepherd's hooks in their yard. We couldn't put candles in them because of our sprinkler system and oregon rain would fill bottom of lanterns and ruin battery operated candles. So we bought cheap solar yard lights, took off the stakes, propped them up in the lanterns using empty water bottles. Bottom of solarlight goes in top of water bottle, then we cut the bottoms off to the appropriate height of lantern so only the top of the solar light was approx 1" to 2" from top of lantern. Voila- during day they look like decorative lanterns but at night they light up so nicely for quite a few hours!
