Solar tip - clear nail polish on the plastic top helps keep it from getting cloudy and reducing its ability to charge.

If solar lights do get cloudy, wipe with non-acetone nail polish remover on a cotton ball. Let dry, then apply clear nail polish.

I used so many of your ideas for my husband’s birthday party. We had a dinner party in our backyard. We needed more lighting and the solar lights on mirrors were awesome. The solar lights on broomsticks are still looking great. I really loved the solar lights in mason jars. I hung about 50 of them in the trees. My neighbors asked if we hosted a wedding because it was so lovely. I wanted to come back and say thank you for the great tips.

One of the best uses for these solar lights is to use them in glasses or vases when the electricity goes out. Just keep 5-6 in a flower pot surrounded by flowers during "normal" times, but during an outage they are better than flashlights because you can leave them on a table during the whole night w/o worrying the battery will die.

Brilliantly simple and on the cheap to boot. I particularly liked the broom handle/dustpan handle hack. No matter how careful one is with the weed eater the lights will get damage. I don't know how sturdy the plastic handles are at this time. I'd suggest finding one made of some sort of metal. As you mentioned it's a good idea to get it above some plants. Solar lights need a lot of sun to work properly. Thank you young lady for some great ideas to work off of.

You are just amazing! A woman after my own solar light heart! I'm 62 years old and thought I'd seen it all! Over the years I've always made crafts and try to spend as little as possible and Dollar Tree items work so well! The trick was always to make something quick and easy at a reasonable price so I wouldn't have to charge more than $5 to $10 ! Let's face it, people are cheap and they want bargains at craft fairs. Plus, they'll walk by your stuff while whispering to their friend that "they could make that too! The trick is to keep my price low which means the purchased items to make one craft has to stay low enough to make the sale double or triple what I actually paid to make it. Wow, that was a mouthful, but you get the idea. I don't do much crafting anymore, but I passed the baton to my daughter. She'll absolutely love all your great ideas! I'll be sharing this with her so thank you very much for your great imagination!! God Bless 💙

I love the way your brain works! I have spent hours walking around looking for decor or specific items. I find myself thinking, "this would be prefect if it had a hook, was a little higher, didn't have this awful frame or had a round/square/box base. And here you are... taking one item and walking around turning it into what I've been trying to find all this time! I've spent just as much time looking at every little piece of wood with cute little quotes. I've spent too much money on those pieces of wood and other large, odd shaped and unique paintings that I love, but have never been hung and are multiplying in the shed because they don't actually go with and of my spaces. My husband has spent 20 years watching me walk through the door with another piece of wood, painting or giant shapes asking if I plan to hang any of them or add more to the walls ever. I realized I'm a wall decor "collector" with a housefull of mostly bare walls! 🤦‍♀️ I don't want cluttered walls like he does. It has to be specific and have meaning, I guess. I spent 2 hours going through my husband's workshop last week looking for small pieces of wood, hooks and handles to put together an idea I've had for our laundry/mudroom. I refuse to pay $2000 or more, but couldn't quite figure out how to do it myself. The laundry room is full of items I've been trying to sell on the marketplace to a bunch of no-shows. I finally decided to load everything up and donate it this weekend. However, I just realized most of it can also be used for my idea and a few others I've had as well! My husband will be ecstatic when my 20 year "collection" and stuff to sell are finally gone! I apologize for this being so lengthy, but I have to add, I've been in more than a little funk for the past year. I've been a stay-at-home mom with lupus for so long trying to balance my energy just to keep up. I stopped doing things I enjoyed long ago to save energy for everything else before my body shuts down and forces me to sleep. Now that the kids are older, I have all this time for myself but I'm no longer into the things I used to enjoy. Your video has inspired me to create so much in the form of art that's been in my head for years but felt incapable due to my health. Ironically, this is the "light" I've been in desperate need of for longer than I knew. Thank you! ❤

I can relate to collecting things for various projects. Mine used to be fabric (I used to sew and had 2 industrial sewing machines and expertise in designing and making clothes). About 10 years ago, I donated everything after I realized that I kept collecting (with the goal of getting the perfect fabric for making the perfect outfit... But then not following through... Only to repeat the cycle). Not sure how I came to decide to donate it all but I realized many years into it, that I no longer enjoyed seeing even if what I made was professional looking. I can also relate to having a certain amount of energy. I try to conserve mine for things I value. Unfortunately, a very clean home is not a very high priority! 🤣

Hi Sara Jane 👋 these are literally some of the best ideas. These can be used as well to help support or hang the lights at the cemetery as well. It’s hard to come up with good lighting ideas that do not cost a fortune and these ideas are just amazing. Thank You! Have a great rest of your day 🌻🦋🕊✌🏻

My favorite, without a doubt, is the hanging chandelier idea using the hanging wire basket. I also like the idea of hanging the basket upside down and putting it atop a pole to make a tall wire solar lantern. AND, because you've removed the chains, I think you might be able to hang more solar lights from the little hooks that once held the chains. Then you'd have a much brighter lamp. I really love these ideas. Keep 'em coming! As my husband likes to say, "You can sell me the world as long as it you sell it a dollar at a time." Okay, so now it's $1.25, but it's still a store full of great bargains, especially for the do-it-yourselfers out there, like us. I'm now a subscriber and I've hit the bell for future posts, so, like I said, keep those brilliant idea coming. PEACE.

I put them in my flower pots and keep some in a pail, near the window, for storms and hurricanes, so when the power is out I put the flower pots in different rooms of the house and I put the ones from the pail in vases or other containers in the bathrooms, halls or stairs. If you have a child that is afraid of the dark, it's great to put in their rooms. I made one to hang for my grand daughter's room and she loves it. It's cheaper than batteries or night lights and if the power goes out, they still feel safe.

This Video came out on my Birthday! Thanks for the Gift of Fun and Great Ideas! I especially like the Paper Lantern idea I like paper lanterns, but I don't like having to replace the mini battery powered tea lights to keep them lit. I've got two rows of the DT solar lanterns in my side path full of overgrown mint so my guest don't get swallowed by them on the walk down! I wanted to make the path with hanging lanterns with the mini shepherd hooks, but I couldn't figure out a durable light source. Since these things survive outside anyway, I can move ahead with my shepherds hook lighted path that I've been wanting for months!!!

3 or 4 years ago I had the same idea that you did with the broom handles. But instead of broomstick I used metal pipes, and I bought more expensive solar lights to put on top. Mine are about 5 foot tall. I wanted more color out in my backyard so I purchased colorful pool noodles to place over the pipes. (I am sure that it will work with broom handles also!) ...I have also done the basket solar lights....but I love your ideas with the colorful vases etc.! ...

Love these ideas! My 2 favorites are attaching the solar lights to the small mop sticks to map them taller (I've got chickens so it's perfect for their coop)!

Solar lights are great to keep in your yard year round. During a power outage, they make a safe indoor lighting alternative, during power outages. By bringing them in the house after dark to create inside lighting and returning them to the yard to recharge after daylight. Especially during storms that can leave you without power for several days. You don't have to worry about finding a flashlight or having enough batteries on hand, during stormy weather.
