diy outdoor solar chandelier

Hope you all enjoyed a great 4th of July break, we had fun in Vail and crossed
a few items off of our Summer Bucket List,
and now I'm ready to knock out some of my projects!

But, you know how easily I get distracted, and how much I love Pinterest,
that dangerous combination  =  a diy outdoor solar chandelier that I put together today.

My inspiration was from Leah @ The Garden of Leah,
she used a simple outdoor solar garden stake to create her clever chandelier.

Per Leah, remove all of the original electrical wires and guts from your chandelier.

I thought the style of this clear globe fit my chandelier best.
I found the smallest size at Walmart for $3 each.
 (Home Depot and Lowes both carried a larger size), 
  

The bottom slips right off and this top easily sits where the bulb would have been.

I secured it with a little hot glue.

That's it!


I was excited to have found a way to use this light, it was $10 at a thrift sale last October.
It is 36" in length and wouldn't work anywhere!

It adds a nice ambiance to the garden in the evening...even in the rain!
