Solar Glam In A Jar


Light up the night with this quick and easy project! With just a few supplies from a dollar store, and free energy from the sun, you can have little pots of glowing light to brighten up your garden and patio.

Supplies needed:
  • Mason jars of any size or clear glass bottles
  • Clear and colored glass marbles, stones, or strings of beads
  • Small solar lights (sold with ground stakes)



How to make these:
  • Pull the solar lights off of the stakes 
  • Fill the jars with the glass stones or beads
  • Press the solar lights into the jar of stones or beads so that the top of the lights are even with the top of the jar (you can choose to use the mason jar's screw-on ring or not)
  • Set the jars in the sun to let them soak up the light and get energized

Place these "mini lanterns" around your deck, patio, porch, or anywhere that you want a bit off nighttime glamour. You could bring the jars into the house at night so that you have soft glowing lights in a guest bathroom or bedroom as a pretty nightlight. These would make a beautiful tabletop decoration or garden feature at your next party!
