I went to an all town garage sale and found a bunch of fun candle holders to upcycle into solar light creations!

Here is the first candelabra that I was excited to work with and just in time for fall. This candle holder was $4!
I used Folk Art Treasure Gold to paint the stem, and I used Copper to paint the leaves. I let that dry after painting.
I put Superglue into the base of the candle holders, pulled solar lights off their bases, and placed them into the candle holder.
I let it dry completely and love how it turned out.
Here's a picture of it lit up at night.
Here is the next set of candle holders I picked up. I already had 3 glass lamp shades on hand that I was trying to figure out what to do with.
I Superglued the glass lamp shades to the top of the candle holders and let that dry.
I pulled solar lights off their base (I got these from Walmart) and placed them into the glass shades.
I love how they remind me of flowers and they are currently lighting my front porch.
Here's a look at them lit up in the evening.
Here's my last candle holder. It's really big, beautiful, and heavy.
I pulled apart 3 Walmart solar lights from their bases and placed them into the candle holder for a perfect fit.
Here's the completed solar light and it's on my back patio to create ambiance.

We had a bunch of old glass solar lights that all had bad sensors. My husband held onto them, thinking there must be something we could use them for… I love how this little upcycle turned out!
Looking for a fun and unique way to add style and ambiance to a walkway or patio area? These solar-powered painted concrete mushroom lights were very simple to create and offer a whimsical alternative to basic walkway lights. Store-bought solar powered walkway lights are susceptible to cracking and breaking but with a few inexpensive supplies, I created sturdy and unique lights that won’t break or succumb to the elements.
There’s nothing more beautiful and welcoming than a warmly lit path, or garden. And concrete rock solar lights are perfect because during the day, the unsightly black lights are disguised.
Here is another Dollar Tree DIY I created for my home.
Hello there! I'm excited to share how I made solar mason jar lanterns with Dollar Tree supplies. I really wanted solar lights in our backyard, but they can be so expensive for attractive ones when you have a lot of ground to cover! Dollar tree solar lights are tiny, and flimsy by themselves so I didn't think they were a good solution. I have seen several different versions of diy mason jar solar lights around Pinterest and I was thrilled when I found the materials at a local Dollar Tree to make my own version of these beautiful hanging solar mason jar lights for just a few dollars!
