DIY Solar Lights
Once we have our first 60+ day I’m all about getting my outdoor entertaining area ready for the summer season.
The winters are long in New England! A great way to prepare your porch, patio, deck or balcony is to add some lighting.

DIY solar lights are not just practical and energy-efficient; they also add a touch of whimsical charm to your outdoor space.
Whether you’re looking to create a cozy ambiance for a backyard gathering or simply want to enhance the beauty of your garden at night, crafting your own solar lights can be a fun project.
With just a few simple materials and some creativity, you can transform ordinary jars or bottles into light fixtures that harness the power of the sun.
So, roll up your sleeves, grab some basic tools, and let’s dive into the world of DIY solar lights!
