Upcycle an Outdated Chandelier to a Solar Chandelier
The solar lights you can buy from the hardware store or even the dollar store can be taken apart. If you remove the stick, the rest of the solar light can be glued into the chandelier where the lights were. This is a great idea!!
Keep in mind that the degree to which solar lights will work depends on the extent to which they are exposed to direct sunlight during the daytime.
If the lights are placed in the fixture so that they will be shaded during most of the day, do not expect them to yield much light after dark.
Here's a project that you may find helpful, Molly:
