  • 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.

You have to see this stuff - Skratch - a sculptural material

Skratch is essentially a really durable and malleable sculpting medium made from plant fiber and quarried minerals. It is said not to rot, mold or mildew, and to be virtually fire-proof. ...»
Skratch can be used for home décor, homebuilding, furniture making... the possibilities are endless!

Backyard Renovation in Northwest Portland

Another tired old deck is replaced with timeless pavers by Classic Garden Creations of Forest Grove, OR. A subtle curved design really sets the entryway and patio apart from the normal ...»
square box look. A cedar arbor and fence create perfect court-yard ambiance. Flagstone steps which we set in concrete, will take you through the garden where a rock fire pit awaits the family to gather 'round. Shade-loving plants and Japanese maple trees accent the landscape.
