DIY Solar Lantern
Supplies:
- empty small-mouth mason jar or other small decorative jar
- inexpensive solar yard light
- canning jar ring (optional)
- hot glue
Directions:
- Remove the lid/ring from your small jar.
- Remove the solar light unit from the inexpensive solar light. Recycle the rest of the solar light or reserve for another project.
- Place the solar light unit (with solar cells facing up) on/into the top of the jar opening. Secure with hot glue.
- If desired, place a canning ring on top of the jar (around the solar light) and secure with hot glue.
