Solar lights- how can I repurpose them?

I have a lot of old solar pathway lights that no longer work. I've since replaced them with electrical ones and am now wondering if there are any crafty cute ideas of what I can do with the old ones before throwing them away?

    Did you change the batteries on them?

      I didn't want the expense of replacing the batteries as there are a few dozen of them - and I have since replaced them with electrical ones - I was just looking for a craft possibility. thanks !

    Yes! They use rechargeable batteries.

      I have several dozen of them - didn't want the expense of replacing the batteries - so I replaced with electrical ones this year - now I am just looking for a craft idea for them. Thanks !

    I am painting mine grey and brown adding painted windows and doors and making them into troll houses. A whole subdivision under older evergreen trees when I get some finished will post pictures

    Use on the top of wood fence posts. Mount where they will light a patio.

    Thank you ! If they still worked I would, I was looking for something crafty to do with the ones that do t work any longer.
