MUST SEE Dollar Tree Solar Light DIYs for your Garden or Home Decor

That window cling is a new item I've not seen before! I'm stoked to go find some ! Great job 🙂

[@maryellenyork2819]

I've never seen that window cling at DT. Love it green--so very pretty.

I am the proud owner of a small white enamel hand washing basin. It is ŵeathered as you gals say. I also own a small scale that my Great Grandpa used in his frontier store in Gerdane, Oregon, (not on the map.) I am now 80, so I imagine that the scale is well over 150 years old. I have observed that it is easier to make the dark colored items appear rusted and weathered than the light colored ones. I really liked your last light on the branch. Original! That's what I like and appreciate on You-Tube. I will be looking for your videos. Thanks, and God Bless you and yours. ❤

[@creartivebynature]

Oh wow, such amazing family treasures. The stories they must hold!!! 😃 Thank you so much for watching, I appreciate it. Take care 💖

[@terirachelsims8928]

I've had great luck with DT soars for years and I'm happy to see so many new designs this year. For outdoor use, a light coat of clear nail polish helps prevent solar panel clouding. I also use upside-down glass things over them for a glass lantern look - a simple cylinder vase is great,

[@creartivebynature]

Ooo, I'll have to try the nail polish!! Thanks for the tip 😉 Great ideas. Thanks so much for watching. Have a wonderful weekend 😀 💖

They all turned out pretty but you know me, the rusty one on the branch is my favorite!!! I'm going to put mine on branches this summer. I love that look!! Take care and God Bless y'all always

[@creartivebynature]

Ya, I think I'll do the same with all of mine too 😄 I like how it turned out!! Thanks for watching Lisa. Take care 💖

[@mrs.pattiderge6743]

Loved all of these. The tissue paper one and the rusted one are awesome!

[@creartivebynature]

Thanks so much. I am happy you enjoyed!! Thanks for watching. Take care 💖 🙂

[@alexisl4158]

The rust paint technique is brilliant! You are so Creartive. 😊 thank you for sharing.

[@creartivebynature]

Aw, thanks. It's fun seeing it come together 😊 Thanks for watching 💖

[@TinaKazarian]

Love them all but my favourite is the last one. Love that u did the rustic look and put it on a stick. TFS my friend 🥰

[@creartivebynature]

Aw, thanks Tina. I appreciate it. Thanks for watching my friend. Take care 💖

[@bonnieshramek5958]

All projects were super cute with the solar lights Happy Mothers Day🌹🌹🌷💐❤🤗☺

[@teresasanders5555]

I hang a wire or dowel across my box then string my small items by tiny wire or thread the spray. You may have a tiny area exposed when removing wire. Works for me. Love your channel. Adorable projects today. Per usual. 😊

[@creartivebynature]

OOO, great tip!! I will have to give it a try. It's so frustrating when the paint peels. Thanks for watching Teresa. Take care 😊💖

[@debrahennesy]

I literally stood in front of the solar lights at DT yesterday & KNEW I could do something with them…I just didn’t figure out what! Lol Thanks for the great ideas!!!

[@creartivebynature]

Awesome, glad you were inspired 😀 I have done the same thing with DT stuff 😉 Thanks so much for watching. Take care 💖

[@terriallen2537]

Lovely DIYS on solar lights. Love the last one with natural branch. You know I love when you use natural elements. Love it 😊

[@creartivebynature]

Aw, thanks Terri!! I appreciate it 🤗 Thanks so much for watching. Have a wonderful weekend 💖💐😄

[@MossCottageMarket]

These are great ideas Donna. Such a nice way to jazz up functional but ordinary lights. I love the DT lights and use them at both our house and the cabin!

[@creartivebynature]

They sure are an affordable option for solar lights and I don't feel guilty playing around with them at that price. I'm amazed how well they hold up. Thanks for watching Helen. Take care 💖 🙂

[@YayasWhimsicalBrush]

That rusted one was my absolute favorite!

[@creartivebynature]

Awesome, glad you enjoyed 😉 Thanks for watching. Have a great day 😀 💖

[@kathikeneasterrichards5099]

Really like the vase with the window cling, but I've never seen these at any of my local Dollar Trees, but will definitely be on the lookout!! This was my favorite of today's projects. It turned out beautiful & I feel the green ink was a great call.

[@creartivebynature]

Thank you 💖It's a beautiful pattern, I hope you can find it!! Thanks for watching Kathi 🤗💕

[@shesshyshescrafty9084]

Hi Donna .. these are Great .. Thank You for sharing 💕

[@creartivebynature]

Thank you kindly Janice 💖 🤗

[@CraftingMyBestLifewithLisa]

Beautiful Donna! So creative. I haven’t used the solar lights before. I love how yours turned out. 🥰🤗

[@creartivebynature]

Thanks so much Lisa Marie, I appreciate it. You'll have to try them out 😉 Thanks for watching 🤗 💖

[@sueanimallover8952]

Hi Donna. They're all very nice. I really like the last one best. You're rust technique is very cool. Love it! Thank you again Donna. God bless!!

[@creartivebynature]

Thank you Sue!! I appreciate it 😉 Thanks so much for watching. Take care 💖 🙂

[@sunnysgirl46]

I love your idea with using a branch for the solar light. So awesome !! Inspiring 😊

[@creartivebynature]

Thank you kindly 😉💖

I love how these lights turned out.I love solar lights.I’m going to try the one with the branch.🌞

[@creartivebynature]

Aw, thanks so much Carlene, I truly appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed ☺️ Thanks for watching!!

[@sarahpollnow3137]

Really cute.

Thank you Sarah 💖 😊

Great outdoor, ideas! ❤

[@creartivebynature]

Thank you 💖

[@anamiller5778]

Hi Donna awesome projects. I love the rusted lantern. I have large lantern I want to try your technique on!!! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@creartivebynature]

Awesome, glad you were inspired Ana 😀 Thanks so much for watching. Happy crafting 💖 🤗

[@jannanewbolt8553]

Very cute idea's

[@creartivebynature]

Thank you 💖💖💖

[@JenniferJohnson-kj1ll]

Yes I use them all the time

[@pmmm8440]

I loved how the Dollar General spotlights made my flowerbeds look at night. But it’s been about 6 weeks in hot wet weather and 4 of my lights no longer work.

[@creartivebynature]

Oh that's too bad. I don't mind the DT solar lights, but I would imagine even those will burn out eventually. Thanks for watching and sharing 🤗💖

[@shannonsefton9601]

Carpet nail boards work great for painting because the items only touch the points

[@creartivebynature]

Ooo, great tip!! Thank you. I will see if I can figure out something else that'll work in the same way. Thank you 🤗💖

[@moonchildpink5525]

New subscriber, thanks for sharing! FYI: my husband had me use hot glue around the exposed square of the solar light, this way watter does not drip inside light & shorten it's life. 😊

[@creartivebynature]

Thanks so much 😀. I'm glad you enjoyed. Great idea. I'd have to use silicone, it gets too hot here where I live, the glue wouldn't hold. So far there's no water issue, but I will definitely try it out if I notice anything. Thanks for watching. Take care 💖 🙂

[@lorrainejones3600]

I can never get cling right!!! lol

[@creartivebynature]

Oh man, it can be so frustrating!! 🤪😅 Thanks for watching 🤗 💖

[@lorrainejones3600]

@@creartivebynature I'll try the rolling idea next.

[@chrishubbard5073]

Not sure about plastic but gesso works great on wood when you gesso, sand and gesso again.

[@creartivebynature]

I guess it's worth a try 🤷‍♀️ Thanks so much for watching. Have a wonderful week 😊 💖

[@lisastreet8920]

Good ideas. On the one where you used the stick on material and inked it green, what if you didn’t put the folding lattice plastic part back in? I think it competes with your glass globe’s look.

[@creartivebynature]

You could try. The top portion snaps onto the lattice, so some good adhesive would need to be used to keep it all together. I'm not sure if it would work 🤷‍♀️😉 Thanks so much for watching and for your suggestion. Take care 💕

[@lou-anntedesco2567]

Love the last one best. When you spray paint in a box, how does it not stick when you need to turn it over to paint other side? Thanks for any help ☺️

[@creartivebynature]

Thank you Lou-Ann!! I place the items in a clean box and let things fully dry. I pick them up after they've dried for a bit. Hope that makes sense. Sorry if I didn't explain it very well 😉 Thanks for watching 💖

[@iamyourmuse]

Yes, I'm gonna use them for a fairy house with a solar powered waterfall so I don't know the details of it yet cuz I can't use hot glue to keep it together since I'm in arizona and it would fall apart, so I could use it just to get things to stick together till the real glue cures and dries but I hope it turns out cute, Not sure if it's gonna be hanging yet or just sit on a table but probably hanging if it all works out on the hanging plant hanger I got so we shall see.

[@creartivebynature]

Ya, I don't know if the silicone will hold while hanging, I've never tried! I don't know how strong it is. You may need to look into a stronger adhesive for construction. Sounds like a fun project!! 😃 Thanks for watching 💖

[@iamyourmuse]

@@creartivebynature Yeah, thanks and I did look into a strong construction adhesive which is silicone so no worries. The part that is hanging will have great support and only using the silicone blue for rocks and other things within the build that I'd used to use hot glue for but then later on realized how it just fell apart from the heat. So live and learn, I think it's gonna be fabulous!

[@maryellenyork2819]

I bought 3 of those square solar lights for my deck. After yours is in the weather a while, please report back how the tissue paper holds up. I want to copy what you did if it works.

[@creartivebynature]

Yes, I will definitely keep you posted 😉 If it works, I will be making more. They're so fun 😀 Thanks for watching Mary Ellen. Have a great weekend 💖

[@khairunkanji3712]

Sorry why is the product u applied like a primer, and where can I get it ... Thanks Wonderful ideas and creativity

[@creartivebynature]

Gesso is a primer that artists use. I find it works well for any surface that I craft on. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching 🤗

[@doreenstodolski615]

The flicker one doesn’t last 😕

[@creartivebynature]

Oh no. I hope that doesn't happen to mine. The one I did last year is good so far. Time will tell. Thanks for watching. 💖

[@johnwalton3850]

I really enjoyed what you did but as far as I'm concerned I would not have enough patience to do that God be with you

[@creartivebynature]

No worries, it's not for everyone 😉 I'm a detailed crafter 🤗 Thanks so much for watching, I really appreciate it. Take care 💖

[@darcybrummett7004]

I bought 4 of the lights in the first clip. Unfortunately, because of the time of year, they have a Halloween-themed mesh that can’t be removed. Darn! I want to use the lights all year without anything holiday/seasonal on the lantern part. I’m having a heck of a time cutting it (pumpkin and skeleton) off. Any ideas from anyone?

[@creartivebynature]

Oh ya, I saw them in the store the other day. The plastic is quite thick isn't it. Not sure what you can do, sorry!! Hopefully they come out with those lanterns again 😉 Thanks for watching 💖

[@khairunkanji3712]

Where do I buy outdoor modge-podge

[@creartivebynature]

You can buy it from Amazon and crat stores such as Micheals, maybe even Walmart.

[@JenniferJohnson-kj1ll]

I don't understand why you take it apart you can not see the inside

[@creartivebynature]

I didn't want the seams to be glued together, then I will have access to the rechargeable battery and change it if needed. Thanks for watching. take care 😉💕
