I would like to DIY a house number plaque that is solar powered. Can anybody help and make recommendations on good products to use? I would like to keep the $$$ to a reasonable minimum, but have it look classy.

Hi, Bec!
Are you wanting to illuminate the numbers on the sign? I created an address sign for my son’s home with a planter on the front. The planter can be replaced with a solar lantern or light. The link is here: https://designsbystudioc.com/easy-build-modern-address-sign/ I hope this helps!
This is a good video tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XyHEDvVkx4

Painting the house numbers with glow-in-the-dark paint may be an alternate option.
Ya know, I checked that out, but none of the paint I saw on Amazon said the paint would glue for more than 4 or 5 hours. Also, I believe I read that the paint needed to be reapplied after a couple of months. Ate you are of a good brand of paint? I really appreciate your getting back to me. Thank you for taking the time!
