Need a Taller Solar Light? See How I Added Height to Solar Lights
I was looking for something to add a different look to our fire pit area, and flower pots. I wanted lighting but wanted to add some height to it so the weedeater didn't kill them. (anyone else know how that goes?) :o)
So I picked up some inexpensive solar lights, a can of black spray paint, and while I was in the store went to the craft area and tried diffent sized dowel rods to see which would work with what I had in mind.. the winner was half inch.
I took out the stake that is what is usually used for the solar lights.. didn't need it.
Then I spray painted my dowel rods and simply placed the lights over it.
It gave a lot of height, but you could cut the dowel rods to the height you really want.
Here I used 3 and just cut the dowel rods at different lengths and layered them for a trio of light and it looks so pretty at night.
Enjoyed the project?
