September or 2012 my friend posted this blog entry
in it there was a link to 'A CUTE DIY'.
i loved the idea.
i wanted mason jar solar lights.
so i finally found garden lights at the dollar store.
i bought one and made my first mason jar solar light.
i put glass stones in the bottom for decoration
and some yarn to wrap around the top.

| this was taken on a full moon - with no flash. it didn't go green until i took the picture. |
then..
the other day...
i had a new idea for this mason jar craft.
i was going to make the kids solar powered night lights!
off to the dollar store i headed.
found pink and a green garden lights.
i found the jars i was going to use.
and made handles out of some wire i had.
and...
tada!
the kids carry these into their rooms at bedtime.
they stay lit all night long
and in the morning the kids bring them back out to the dining room table to charge for the day.
**thank you V for your great links.. i miss those entries, i hope you start them again when things settle down.**

Aw, thanks for the shout out!
ReplyDeleteI love that you did it and then made it your own. I want to see a picture of the solar powered ones! I'll have to make them for my boys. They'd love them.
those are them right above. i need to take a pic of them in their rooms. your boys would love them. and they actually light up the rooms more than i thought they would - the kids love that. Elijah has no problem turning his light out now when he's ready to sleep. and they love that they're still lit when they wake in the morning.
