I used a Classico Tomato Sauce jar lid because it fits a Ball jar perfectly and it is easy to cut with kitchen shears. Spray paint if you're fancy. (I am)

Take apart the solar light. It is really easy they just come right off the stake. Then use E-600 to glue the light to the inside of the Classico Lid.

See how easy it is!

I loved your solar lights, but I really want to know more about your fence! Did you build it yourself? If so, would you be willing to share some basic information. This is exactly what I've been dreaming about and I'd love any advice you might be willing to offer on materials, measurements, number of posts you used, etc. Thanks!

How do you keep the jar from getting moisture in it?

I assume you could just buy the cheaper solar lights from a dollar store for this purpose :)

  You can get individual solar lights at Walmart for . 97 or if your doing a bunch of the mason jar lights they also sell the same solar lights in a 12 pk. box for $9.9?.
