You will not believe how cute some vases and bowls from the Dollar Store can be with this fun summer project. You can see more of my crazy creations here
To start this project, you're going to need some Dollar Store solar lights.
You'll also need some plastic bowls and vases. I chose them in all different colors.
The first thing you are going to do is flip the bowls upside down and remove the labels. Some labels are easier to remove than others, but you want to just peel the label off because this site needs to be clear for this project.
Next, you want to focus on the solar light. You don't have to worry about removing these labels because you want to pull them apart are discard the posts.
Once the post has been removed, you need to open up the solar light and pull out the tag so that the solar light works. Then you can place it back together so it is ready to be used.
To add some weight to the bottom of the project, I filled my vases with colorful glass rocks. If you are placing your mushrooms outside, this will keep them from blowing over in the wind.
Next, you want to pop the solar light into the top of the vase. Make sure it fits in nicely and the rocks don’t push it up.
Depending on where you want to put this, you could put a little adhesive down here on the bottom and then have it stay in place. The light is pretty stable though and not going to move so I didn’t glue mine. I want the ability to change this solar light out if it dies.
Now we want to add the top. Choose a glue that will work for the climate you live in. Hot glue does not stay long in hot and cold temperature fluctuation so you may want a

When it comes to growing palms in homes, people generally prefer the popular ones like Areca and majestic palm, as they need some direct sunlight exposure to thrive well. While these palms look best, they still want their daylight. There are better options for indoor growing: 7 Low Light Indoor Palms That Need No Direct Sunlight listed below.

A quick way to add lighting to your deck (with no wiring!)
Shade is welcome most of the year in the Southwest, but too much shade can limit other options. Larger-leaved trees can cast dense shade, and when their leaves drop, extracting them from spiny desert companions can be difficult. However, many ornamental plants that thrive in the Southwest actually appreciate the bright dappled shade cast by the light open canopy of desert trees. This provides ideal conditions for succulents in the genera Aloe, Aeonium, Echeveria, and Agave, as well as cacti such as flowering Echinopsis hybrids.
These DIY solar lights are made from embroidery hoops and make a beautiful statement for your deck or patio.
Many of us wish we could have outdoor lights glowing year-round; sadly, knotted electric cords and high energy bills hold us back. Thankfully, technology has advanced. Today, I’d like to share how I made a DIY fairy light tree with Starbright’s solar-powered string lights that could stay on year-round. Having solar-powered lights eliminates the need for long electric cords. This project was sponsored by Starbright.

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!
