How to Make ORB SOLAR LIGHT for Your Patio -DIY
Have you ever had one of those projects that you’ve dreamed of for years, but just never been able to cross off the list? Well, today I am so excited to be able to cross this orb hanging light off my large patio decor to do list! I am going to use Embroidery Hoops to make my IT!
Supplies needed Embroidery hoops – 2 or 3 same size hoops depending how full your like your orbit
Paint – Solar lights purchased least expensive on Amazon
Steel wire 24 gauge is plenty Metal Chain that you can pick at the Hardware Store too by the foot
To have them matching my patio decor I decided to paint my embroidery hoops and chain black with paint spray to speed up a process
While all is drying, let’s assemble our solar lights so they will be ready. Open up top portion of the solar light and place your wire. Bottom portion will nicely secure that. Turn the light over, take the ends and make them meet in the middle and twist a couple times.
All is dry now and it is time to assemble our orb light together!
Place the two inner hoops into one another so they look like this
Cover those loops with outter loop and attach chain with light
and we are done! Easy right!
