So with the 4th of July just a couple of days away...most everyone is looking for cute party ideas.
I'm not actually hosting at my house this year...but I do have entertaining on my mind with our deck and patio all "cute-ed" up.
(If you want to see that you can take a peek HERE)
So when I saw the fun solar lights in jars Kelly made over at Eclectically Vintage...
(go over and check hers out HERE)
and since I have about a "million" glass canning jars...I decided to whip some up too :)
I made mine pretty much the same way she made hers...only I used jars I had on hand and tied on some twine for fun.
I twisted off the base...
...added sand to the jar for weight and tucked in my light. I was going to leave the like that until I realized I needed something to cover the top...just in case...
So I added a little waxed paper and some lid rims...which I also had on hand.
So there they will sit...
looking cute all day, charging up...
...so they can light up at night.
I'm thinking I'll make a bunch more...they will be fun to tuck in...
here...
...and there for parties...much safer than candles, and cheaper than battery operated tealights and batteries :)
I think it is the perfect party addition to my little buggy pedal plant/wreath hooks.
And I thought the blue cow tags looked kind of patriotic with my red and white petunias :)
Don't you?
Hope those of you in the US have a safe and fun 4th of July celebrating.
God Bless America!!

Chat soon,
How cute and I love the way you have yours displayed Laurel. Hope you have a safe and wonderful 4th of July, Gail
ReplyDeleteI love them, the wax paper is just the perfect touch. I had over 50 people at my house for our little rodeo parade, we are on the route...wish I had made some then! I have some red cow tags from my nephew that lives on and manages a huge ranch here in Texas, I am going to use those tags on their tree! Miss everyone, haven't been blogging much!

It's been awhile since I've been able to visit. I love your neat ideas and the galvanized bucket of flowers is beautiful. That milk can is to die for! Love the rusty and crusty too!
ReplyDeleteLaurel,
ReplyDeletewhat a great little light! Very cute idea, the wax paper it just the right touch. Love the white bucket and the plant hooks with the tags, very cool.

ReplyDeleteKelly
Cute lights, Laurel!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Laurel! Happy 4th! Best, Vicki
ReplyDeleteThese are great, Laurel...the wax paper is a fun whimsical touch! Hope you have a wonderful fourth!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe light bulb went on in my head right now..... I guess my brain is also solar powered, and I have an idea for my house with this.
ReplyDelete~Bliss~
Such a great idea, Laurel! I'll be featuring you at next week's party at Knick of Time!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Angie
These are fabulous and I love the addition of the blue tag...so festive.
ReplyDeleteHope you and your family have a wonderful celebration tomorrow!!
This is very cute and intriguing -- I do spend a lot on the battery lights because they don't blow out on windy evenings. This makes sense to use the sunlight to charge up the lights for you! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThose are cute and so very practical, a combination that's hard to beat.
ReplyDeleteI'll say it again~You genius! I think you've just changed wedding receptions everywhere!
ReplyDeletegreat idea for going solar. will also check out the Eclectically Vintage blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat you should do is put a glass jar like that and a top on it of a design then put a red led inside. That way you would have a design come out from the top. I did this and people thought it was really cool.
ReplyDeleteI was very excited to try the Vader Yourself app, even the 2 out of 5 stars overall rating didn't put me off. This is where it can get very explicit when it comes to phone chat. Still, if you have almost nothing on your phone you may want to give it a shot next time you are up on your little pedestal.

I enjoyed the film, albeit his misanthropic attitude. Not to worry, his is not completely
ReplyDeletelazy. While Cecilia's husband Nicholas Tse has publicly said he believes the photos were real or fake? Medieval Celtic wedding outfits which are in vogue these days. The act of masturbation allows men and women who enjoy pegging, but it works just fine.

Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity, I can help you solve any problem you are having
