  • Finished Mason jar solar light.
  • Supplies Needed: Solar lights, duct tape, Mason jars and outer lid, spray paint and painters tape. 3
  • Screw off the top of the solar light and put painters tape on the top of the solar panel.
  • Spray paint the solar light tops and lids.
  • I folded the duct tape in half to create double sided tape. I used duct to keep the light from falling into the jar. Duct tape is also weather proof.
  • I wrapped the duct tape around the light. Make sure you don't put the tape to close to the top. You don't want the tape to stick out of the lid. 4
  • I stuck the light with the duct tape inside the jar. You don't need to push the light in too far, just enough to make it snug. The lid will make it more secure.
  • It was an easy project that didn't cost very much money. I had all of the resources with the exception of the lights. 1

Mason Jar Solar Lights!

Don't you just love all of the things you can make and do with Mason jars? I have been wanting Mason jar solar lights since I saw them in a catalog three years ago, but for $40 a jar ...»
there was no way I would allow myself to buy them. I knew I needed to figure out a way to make them myself. I bought some solar lights at the dollar store and was able to come up with my own Mason jar solar lights. Please visit my blog to see all of the details.

  • I had this kit shipped from Calif to Ala. Son said it was very easy to put together.

Oriental ideas for yard

This is my teahouse, built in one day from a kit. My son asked if I really wanted it in the front yard then decided it looked good once he had it together. I couldn't get a landscaper so have done the landscaping to the rest of front yard myself. Will be posting other pictures.

    like the thing around the tea house. Lavender would be pretty too. I am thrilled to have your link, thanks so much, it is exactly what I was looking for. I'm going to see about getting a catalog.

Yard Art, Recycling

Keeping junk out of the landfill. So I have finally run out of clay pots and have moved on to the next best thing. Coffee cans, soup cans, paint cans, teapots, chandelier parts and even anchovy cans for the feet. Meet my newest garden helper.

    pest deterrent that uses an electronic eye to detect and spray a shot of water at unwanted garden visitors. I would love to have the Tin Man holding it.
