I can’t get over how creative people are! You guys rock! Thanks for all the great ideas👍👍👍❤️

[@rosalindhendricks6337]

Nice ideas. I noticed some of the solar lights were placed upside down. Hard to charge those since the sun would not reach charging window.

[@mimi210sc]

That’s what I thought too!

[@lynchma53]

I'm with you on that. How will it charge

[@kekikamiller]

Yes and some showed battery operated lights. Also I'm not going to go back and count but felt like more than ten.

[@offthehook4u]

I was wondering the same thing. If you can't charge them well......there's not going to be any light, right??????

[@terricannon-pirozzi4913]

Exactly my first thought when I saw the first one put in upside down. I don't want to have them out in the sun all day to charge just to have to put them together at night for the light. I want maintenance free!! Cute ideas but not too logical in that aspect. Did I miss something???

[@katterkat58]

Love the light house idea. I just might take that a step farther by adding gnome/Fairy doors by the little windows.

[@mimi210sc]

I love how fast these went without a lot of talking. Perfect!

[@MeditationParadiseLand]

Thumbs up Always!💕The person who is reading this comment, I wish you great success, health, love and happiness🌷

[@mattsnead4450]

Thank ya Stranger and right back at ya Babe! -A

[@phoenixkb134]

These awesome ideas are shown so fast! I can't keep up! Please, please can you slow down and talk us through it all. I'm OCD and like to do a thorough job the first time around, so to me... preparation and assembly are key!

[@Chevynut100]

Use the settings symbol and you can adjust the speed yourself.

[@phoenixkb134]

@@Chevynut100 Thank you for this advice.

[@azaleecasas5116]

Danke,danke, Dankeschön,so tolle Ideen.Greetings from Germany ❤

[@deborahjames8251]

I always enjoy HOMETALK

[@janetbaker3616]

Will be saving to solar light playlist. I especially like the picnic setting at the end.

[@rgvtexas8391]

Putting the solar panel side down against the glass jar prevents them from charging in the sun.

[@dianebaker5243]

Lovely video thanks for sharing 👍 😊

[@scarletfrances5004]

Amazing Ideas 👍👌👍👌

[@debbiebrown8752]

Hoops with flowers my fav

[@suzzannelemarier3350]

I especially like the lighthouse ones. I want to try to make one. Thanks.

[@karenann147]

Great video 👏🏻👏🏻👍

[@reneelipton695]

I will use my birdbath for petunias this spring. Great idea.

[@rebelwithacause7334]

Wow, you're ideas are so awesome! They are elegant!!!

[@ommuhammadrababah4619]

Mashaallah🌷💕

[@feduppatriot7647]

Ok , these great , look cool and all but , when some of these fixtures are set up in a shaded area , unable to get sun and charge up , that’s when the hassle of having to remember to remove that thing and get it in the sun to recharge , daily .

[@marygold6655]

You made some upside down,and they won't charge.

[@patrickaaloi1499]

Love the lights too

[@gillianmason4198]

Amazing you are so talented! Thank you for sharing your ideas.

[@phylliswood8120]

Wow wow thanks for showing this I'm going to try quite a few of these Get my husband to help as we have a big garden can't wait 🥳🥳🥳🤩🤩🤩

[@ellabransfocombransfor8091]

I am loving all of the projects and thank you so much for sharing may God continue to bless you your family and your Channel your friend Ella:-).

[@godsgift3302]

Love it,thx for sharing ❤

[@charmyers5461]

I really like each of these!!! Be great if my husband would make any of them or all, lol What keeps the paint from fading?

[@mamaj6028]

How do the chandeliers stay charged under cover ?

[@melissafields3376]

These would have to be removed and put in the sun during the day; then replaced at night. Unless you have a uv light shining on them from underneath during the day. I did it that way for about a year. Then I switched to solar string lights

[@louisestaats234]

6:04 wow! Maybe you could teach us that snap trick sometime.

[@septinawillis31]

Love..Love..Love...Now, I will be buying all the lights...Thanks for all these ideas...😁😁😁😁😁🐰🐰

[@rhondatallent2396]

BEAUTIFUL!

[@tammyhoushour8070]

I'm definitely going to make some of these things. ..super cute.💖

[@joerichard8665]

Great job!!👌👍

[@carmenm987]

Too bad many of these projects have the solar charger either face down or in a location where they won’t be able to charge

[@chachaalston1698]

Brilliant!

[@mattsnead4450]

Wow I really loved alot of these. It's tough to pick a favorite. Ima go with the golden hula hoops with the hanging ivy, white flowers &soft lighting. Oh and I also thought, that the last picnic lawn scene was very welcoming with a touch of a romantic glow..idk but thanks for sharing them! -April

[@briannab5296]

That one is my favorite too! 😍

[@CPR4THEBODYlivingaenrichedlife]

Very creative ideas!!

[@sylviawatts4027]

The lights solar ones you put upside down in the glass how do they get sun light through the bottom of them to charge them

[@gwynnew317]

Beautiful! You have a new subscriber!

[@jaqulynsilvester5428]

Such great ideas

[@Sonee777]

Awesome 👏

[@chippyl3331]

Very creative. Only problem is that these are SOLAR lights, so several would have to be taken apart or at least moved to be charged!

[@jannanewbolt8712]

Wow great idea's

[@mclary9808]

I love this ideas

[@nelzmcmillan9237]

Bright sparks ☺️

[@americasisneros1171]

Cool!!!

[@melissafields3376]

Sorry but I just have to say that if you're going to use clay pots for any project; please condition them first!! Then apply a t least 2 coats of sealer on them; completely covering every inch of it. If you don't ; the clay will dry out and crumble after the 1st year or 2. Learned that the hard way!! Lol

[@dm5129]

Totally cool

[@MiamiMillionaire]

Not Bad 👍

[@melissafields3376]

5:48 these are battery operated. Still works nicely; though you can buy solar string lights and you wouldn't have to plug it in every night or buy a timer for them

[@lesliebrookins6950]

Super

[@ednajue2538]

Why are you putting the part that needs to be in the sun to charge facing the bottom of jars. This means everyday you need to take them out to recharge everyday. Misleading for the novice....

[@genevievemurray7743]

Lighthouse is my favourite.

[@gpashh]

Now I see why all the solar lights are gone at Dollar Tree. I've been making these for years.🤗

[@freespirit3891]

They seem to sell out within a week of the store getting them. 30 minutes away so don't get there often 😢. These are cute ideas

[@oviliatam7540]

謝謝~♡♡♡♡♡

[@Phyllyps-Levine]

Why such agonizing music?

[@londawhitt6841]

😊👍

[@kennybrown8586]

I have this hanging light on my porch and the solar lights just barley light, why? Thanks Anna

[@Nardz024]

Neat

[@user-mh9ef6uc8c]

👍🔥👋💐

[@mickiestevens1606]

This is just a combination of ideas from multiple creators without giving the individuals any credit. At least link back to the original videos. Don’t take credit for only compiling.

[@briannab5296]

I'm thinking it's the same couple who made all the videos and compiled together .. i'm just going by the hands in them all... Looks like a man, wife, and a grown daughter team.

[@steviesgirlbrenwag]

There are a few real clever ideas but a few of the designers are placing the solar lights upside down & they will never charge that way. Solar lights need the tops exposed to direct sunlight

[@irmarios3678]

That's way more than10 ideas......lol

[@user-pm4ef8yu7w]

Too bad those $ Tree solar lights don’t last very long. Pure junk.

[@steviesgirlbrenwag]

I know wha you mean… I have found a trick that works for me. In the winter months I store them in uncovered plastic totes in my gazebo so that they continue to recharge & I get about 2 years (sometimes more) out of them. I think at a $1.25 a light for 2 years isn’t too bad.

[@ruggedrickrude1946]

Use the clear GORILLA GLUE not the one in vid as it expands while drying like foam sealant spray does

[@janets8209]

Why don’t you explain what you are doing! Doesn’t help just flying through videos!

[@adamcarter6862]

Hacks???? Non of those were "hacks" It was just videos of solar lights being placed in different holders.

[@user-22-]

Ya...I don’t need to do *any* of these.

[@scaredofghosts6813]

But the solar panel is pointed away from the sun🙄

[@MandarkPsuedonym]

Wow.....just wow.....and not in a good way.

[@user-ve6uq4yc6c]

😂😂😂

[@rangertherusky]

Some of those weren’t solar.

[@sherylbell6954]

All cool but not all solar.
