The easiest way I would do it would be to collect the plastic planters all one size, drill a hole in the bottom of them all, and put a string of lights (one light per planter) in them and secure them with washers or whatever it needs and hang them up! You can buy any length of lights from as few as ten to over 100. Adela, I hope this helps

Check out this post where I made a DIY macrame pulley light. You could use some of the same ideas, and the same light kit for your planters maybe?
