DIY Outdoor Lighting Ideas

Brought to you by our friend Beth Hunter from Home Stories A to Z:
Give an outdated chandelier new life by removing the existing electrical sockets and spray painting the chandelier in your choice of color. Hang your light on your porch and place wick or LED candles in the place of the electrical sockets.
Up-cycle your pot rack into an adorable DIY chandelier. Hang the pot rack from your covered porch or pergola and fill the top with jar candles and plants. I think it would be cute to use the hooks on the pot rack for hanging lanterns. Let your creativity be your guide!
If you want a very quick and easy outdoor room, try wrapping twine around clean jars and spray painting the jars. Remove the twine and then place candles within the jars once the paint is dry. The light will shine through the glass where the twine once was to create a lovely pattern.
Stacy Risenmay from Not Just a Housewife created acute outdoor solar lamp using PVC pipe, a solar light, and a lampshade. If you replicate this project, I recommend using a sunbrella fabric shade on your lamp.
Outdoor string lighting can be gussied up to celebrate special occasions—or everyday occasions! Decorate colorful paper bags and secure over your string lighting for a completely different look.
Or instead of paper bags, how about using paper cups or cupcake liners over your outdoor string lights to create a festive atmosphere?
Strands of twinkle lights, grapevine balls,a stick, burlap ribbon and an outdoor extension cord can be used to make beautiful outdoor lighting. With a little patience, you can make an adorable chandelier. How charming!
