New Dollar Tree solar light ideas: ua-cam.com/video/JUEE38cHKTI/v-deo.html ☀
Now that is what I call an energy wise power saving idea.
These are great for inside too, when the sh*t hits the fan!
Solar tip - clear nail polish on the plastic top helps keep it from getting cloudy and reducing its ability to charge.
Thats a good idea!
If solar lights do get cloudy, wipe with non-acetone nail polish remover on a cotton ball. Let dry, then apply clear nail polish.
Make sure it's CHEAP polish... there are uv resistant kinds...that will make the light night charge by blocking the panel!!!!
Thanks
Or you can spray it with automotive clear.
I used so many of your ideas for my husband’s birthday party. We had a dinner party in our backyard. We needed more lighting and the solar lights on mirrors were awesome. The solar lights on broomsticks are still looking great. I really loved the solar lights in mason jars. I hung about 50 of them in the trees. My neighbors asked if we hosted a wedding because it was so lovely.
I wanted to come back and say thank you for the great tips.
This is awesome ❤️

That's amazing 😍
Beautiful
I really admire anyone that can see something and reimagine it. I have so much trouble doing that at the store. I rely on your talent and willingness to share. Thank you!!! 💓
I did the mason jars and put some of the colored gem stones in the bottom.
Very pretty!
Love that idea!
I have about 10 lights from dollar tree and they have been working for 4 years the lady at store told me they only last 1 year I keep them in full sunlight.
Pictures please?
You could re-purpose some bits of broken mirror in the bottoms of those jars too, I bet.
That’s sounds pretty too. Good ideas . Better get some solar lights before they are gone.
One of the best uses for these solar lights is to use them in glasses or vases when the electricity goes out. Just keep 5-6 in a flower pot surrounded by flowers during "normal" times, but during an outage they are better than flashlights because you can leave them on a table during the whole night w/o worrying the battery will die.
That's a great idea you just sold me on getting these lights !! Totally
I've actually had to do this before .
I use them as nightlights. Keep them on the windowsills to get a good charge. Then at sundown under a lamp till bed time. Most are still going strong around 9 and 10 in the morning

Great idea
FINALLY!! Someone with good ideas that actually work and for very little money. Others do expensive and time consuming projects and when finished, in real life, isn't worth it. Thank you!! I'm going to try some of these idea because my solar lights have all died.
You are just amazing! A woman after my own solar light heart! I'm 62 years old and thought I'd seen it all! Over the years I've always made crafts and try to spend as little as possible and Dollar Tree items work so well! The trick was always to make something quick and easy at a reasonable price so I wouldn't have to charge more than $5 to $10 ! Let's face it, people are cheap and they want bargains at craft fairs. Plus, they'll walk by your stuff while whispering to their friend that "they could make that too! The trick is to keep my price low which means the purchased items to make one craft has to stay low enough to make the sale double or triple what I actually paid to make it. Wow, that was a mouthful, but you get the idea. I don't do much crafting anymore, but I passed the baton to my daughter. She'll absolutely love all your great ideas! I'll be sharing this with her so thank you very much for your great imagination!!
God Bless 💙
I have just moved into a Camper Van; it’s by choice, not a consequence😌
I was looking at my lil RV lot and how bare it is. THIS will help me to light up and decorate my area!
Thank you for your clever, cheap, ideas!☺️
Where do you get lil RV lots???
@@pjenyart
Campgrounds and RV parks.
I like to add white sand, small shells, even small rocks or marbles in the bottom of a lot of those jars!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas!
Great ideas. I love the ideas of sand & shells. Also the rocks as well.
I love adding the lights to a broomstick and make them tall. My landscapers always destroy the low solar lights. I also love hanging the lights!
Get new landscapers, or charge them for anything they destroy.
I recently saw a friend in DT trying to find the clear crackle vase to make this. You showed so many great ways to use these solar lights!
Omg that broom/mop handle trick is life changing. You're the best!
I love that idea too !!!!!
Me too!!
Wow you need to get out more 🤣😂🤣 ...well I mean if a $1 bit of plastic is going to change your life....🙄👍🤦♀️
Righttttt???? How's did I never think of the broom handle before??? Genius!!
Creativity is a Gift
Many find recreation
More iinteresting...
It's a Blessing
To be able to express
Our own.
Just FYI for everyone. I went to DG yesterday and they have the exact same solar lights but they also have them with pretty patterns on them (instead of silver or black) but they do also have the silver. And they are only $1 at DG instead of $1.25 at DT!!
@Caitriona Potter thank you!...great info.
Nice! Thanks!!!❤️❤️❤️
Yes I love 💕 DG
Hero
Enjoyed 😉
You knock every solar light DIY out of the park, every year! You rock!
Excellent! I've made a bunch of scrying mirrors for Christmas - NEVER thought of adding solar lights - until now. Thank you.
They were all my favorite! Who would of thought that a solar light could be used in so many different ways. Wow!
You're a Godsend. I'm having a party in about a month. I've been thinking how to jazz up my backyard. You've given me so many ways to make my backyard very exciting! Thank you, thank you and thank you again!!
I love the way your brain works! I have spent hours walking around looking for decor or specific items. I find myself thinking, "this would be prefect if it had a hook, was a little higher, didn't have this awful frame or had a round/square/box base. And here you are... taking one item and walking around turning it into what I've been trying to find all this time! I've spent just as much time looking at every little piece of wood with cute little quotes. I've spent too much money on those pieces of wood and other large, odd shaped and unique paintings that I love, but have never been hung and are multiplying in the shed because they don't actually go with and of my spaces.
My husband has spent 20 years watching me walk through the door with another piece of wood, painting or giant shapes asking if I plan to hang any of them or add more to the walls ever. I realized I'm a wall decor "collector" with a housefull of mostly bare walls! 🤦♀️ I don't want cluttered walls like he does. It has to be specific and have meaning, I guess. I spent 2 hours going through my husband's workshop last week looking for small pieces of wood, hooks and handles to put together an idea I've had for our laundry/mudroom. I refuse to pay $2000 or more, but couldn't quite figure out how to do it myself. The laundry room is full of items I've been trying to sell on the marketplace to a bunch of no-shows. I finally decided to load everything up and donate it this weekend. However, I just realized most of it can also be used for my idea and a few others I've had as well! My husband will be ecstatic when my 20 year "collection" and stuff to sell are finally gone!
I apologize for this being so lengthy, but I have to add, I've been in more than a little funk for the past year. I've been a stay-at-home mom with lupus for so long trying to balance my energy just to keep up. I stopped doing things I enjoyed long ago to save energy for everything else before my body shuts down and forces me to sleep. Now that the kids are older, I have all this time for myself but I'm no longer into the things I used to enjoy. Your video has inspired me to create so much in the form of art that's been in my head for years but felt incapable due to my health.
Ironically, this is the "light" I've been in desperate need of for longer than I knew. Thank you! ❤
I can relate to collecting things for various projects. Mine used to be fabric (I used to sew and had 2 industrial sewing machines and expertise in designing and making clothes). About 10 years ago, I donated everything after I realized that I kept collecting (with the goal of getting the perfect fabric for making the perfect outfit... But then not following through... Only to repeat the cycle). Not sure how I came to decide to donate it all but I realized many years into it, that I no longer enjoyed seeing even if what I made was professional looking.
I can also relate to having a certain amount of energy. I try to conserve mine for things I value. Unfortunately, a very clean home is not a very high priority! 🤣
Great ideas! You can also stick the whole solar light into a planter that you may have on the porch or steps.
The idea of hanging the light and make your own hook is very good for camping. You can hang the light and light up your tent or trailer. All of the other ideas are also very artistic. Thank you for making the video.
"Hang keys to an outdoor shed."
😂😂😂😂
Come and get the tools! They are over here!
Even a light to make sure we steal all the tools.
During the 3 week power outage due to Hurricane Ida, these were lifesavers! Bugs love them too- in order to help keep them away, I took a yellow highlighter and colored it to make it look like a bug light.
The broom handles glued to the solar light tops is what I am going to do tomorrow after church!! Love the ideas!
Brilliantly simple and on the cheap to boot. I particularly liked the broom handle/dustpan handle hack. No matter how careful one is with the weed eater the lights will get damage. I don't know how sturdy the plastic handles are at this time. I'd suggest finding one made of some sort of metal. As you mentioned it's a good idea to get it above some plants. Solar lights need a lot of sun to work properly. Thank you young lady for some great ideas to work off of.
Something I usually do for Easter / spring is to fill plastic eggs with electric tea lights. Mine are yellow and I have them outdoors in the flower pots and they glow when it gets dark. Fine in a flowerpot or bowl, just liking and taste that limits areas of use. (IKEA has tea lights with timers that you can have outdoors) thank you for sharing. love from Sweden
Love any candle or light with timers, especially for outside!! It's so magical when they come on at night, especially for visitors & thr unexpecting too!
Excellent idea, thank you!
Eggcellent idea!! 🥚 🐣 🍳
Thanks for the tip on IKEA having the timer candles. I refuse to buy a candle with no timer. The egg idea is glorious, I stuck them in dollar store skulls for Halloween and put them on pvc painted stakes. It was a fun project and no maintenance! Other than changing the batteries every month or so :)
You are one of my fav UA-camrs. Started watching you when you had 50k subscribers and watched you grow. You are so fricking talented and creative it’s insane. You come up with such amazing DIYs. All the best to you💙 Your kindness radiates through the screen and it helps my anxiety. Thank you so much.💖💖💖💖
This made my day!! Thank you so much 😊
I love all your ideas. I really like the wire lantern, and the pole lights. Makes it easier to cut the grass around. Oh yes the mirrored ones are so cute.
Thank you for all the beautiful ideas with the dollar stores solar lights.
I love the broom handle ones!
The row of solar lights on the wood piece with candle holders would be great to put on top of rails on my deck! Thanks for ideas!
That's a great idea! Maybe secure the piece of wood with a couple painted zip ties? Its windy at my house in the country so I would have to do this and I think I will.... again, great idea
Favorite tip was to grab one and carry it around the store. I was just a bit ahead of you thinking "Hmm... Tape measure would be handy to check sizing for this craft idea" and then you covered that too! Great ideas, thanks for sharing.
People like u are the reason we can have such beautiful decorations for a fraction of the price. Thank u 😊
The basket chandelier? Brilliant, literally & figuratively!
3 or 4 years ago I had the same idea that you did with the broom handles. But instead of broomstick I used metal pipes, and I bought more expensive solar lights to put on top. Mine are about 5 foot tall. I wanted more color out in my backyard so I purchased colorful pool noodles to place over the pipes. (I am sure that it will work with broom handles also!) ...I have also done the basket solar lights....but I love your ideas with the colorful vases etc.! ...
Love these ideas, when you put them outside day and night do they get water in them and get ruined?
Love the idea of using the broom handle. Definitely on my list to pick up for my garden.
These are some of the best Dollar Tree solar light projects I’ve ever seen! Love all of them!
Fantastic! My backyard is so dark and these ideas will work perfectly. Thank you
Its crazy how the solar light fits perfectly into so many dollar tree items 😱💥 but my favorite would have to be the lamp you made with the glass bowl and glass candle stick. It looks so high-end!!! Tyfs💕
Just as a tip. I found that glass, glued with hot glue, to glass doesn’t hold that good. Use E-6000 glue with the hot glue makes a far better hold. It will take awhile for the E-6000 to hold. It could be a few hours.
@@bevdoyleadams2717 I love the look of glass "mushrooms" in a garden. My friend has a bunch from when she finds nice old bowls and candle sticks and vases at thrift stores.
@@Metqa one could paint the bowl, give it the stained glass look!
I love all of these ideas!
I buy these solar lights every year for camping! They’re perfect for lighting up your campsite, especially for kiddos and/or areas that don’t have public lighting!!
do you know how long the light stays on? thanks
@@tamtam777 As long as they were in direct sun for some part of the day, they lasted all night. We also use these at home in our garden lol
@@meilinyent6711 Wow, this is good news! I will put them in my garden as well lol...thanks!
Out of 5 lights I bought at Dollar Tree last winter, only 1 worked.
@@megatuanis good thing their only $1
Glad I came across this. I’ve been needing lights all around my huge 2Tiered garden area. Tall lights is great! I’m going to go get what I need and light up my Beautiful backyard area now! How genius!
Loved the lites placed into colorful bottles and jars of all shapes, sizes and height. My favorite was the colored long-necked bottles.👍
I absolutely love the lantern ,with the candlestick and clear glass bowl. I love solar lights,but never thought of that idea. I have an old chandelier I found on the side of the road and put solar light on it and it's beautiful
The outdoor centerpiece could also be used on your indoor widowsill to make a nice light in your window for the overnight decor. I love your ideas. Thanks.
That's a great idea !
Does the light through the window recharge them
Yes I do this I love it
Great tip+
My wife and I use them on top of mason jars for the indoor lighting in our off grid weekend/fishing cabin, they put out alot my light than people realize.
I love those lights. I used them on my fence. Carried one for camping.
I just love the 4 lights on the wood block,i was going to buy an umbrella with the solar lights built in but i like your idea best and second i like making the lights
taller.all ideas are great.I started already back in april lighting my ground flox garden with in ground soloar discs and and stake ones in pots of flowers.I used red white
and blue in pots of flowers on my my front steps for memorial day and i placed string lights on my climbing roses and more stakes in ground in my back yard.I plan on
using your idea to make taller ones for my roses .Thanks so much for your ideas,love them.
Solar lights are great to keep in your yard year round. During a power outage, they make a safe indoor lighting alternative, during power outages. By bringing them in the house after dark to create inside lighting and returning them to the yard to recharge after daylight. Especially during storms that can leave you without power for several days. You don't have to worry about finding a flashlight or having enough batteries on hand, during stormy weather.
We have done this a few times. This is also safer than candles.
@@garden333 absolutely.
I discovered this in preparation for a hurricane. When the lights went out I was actually able to go to sleep which I won't do with a candle
I would keep them in my yard year round Sarah but hard to see or even charge under 4.5 feet of snow ! lol
I use my flashlight w rechargable batteries.
Thank you for the great ideas using the solar lights. Especially now you never know when you'll lose power. Also a great way to decorate and light up your yard and/or patios!
Wow, I love all these ideas. Thank you. I like the idea of using the tall broom sticks, and anything beautiful that will hang with a super nice effect. Cannot wait to try these, I actually bought 6 of these lights from the Dollar Tree in April but now I'm going to get more. Thanks again
With 5 grandchildren my daughter & I are always trying 2 find new ideas fir parties.Thank u so much
I'm going to get the solar lights and broom handles and then zip tie them around my backyard fence. Love your channel. What great and amazing ideas. Thank you.
I put them in my flower pots and keep some in a pail, near the window, for storms and hurricanes, so when the power is out I put the flower pots in different rooms of the house and I put the ones from the pail in vases or other containers in the bathrooms, halls or stairs. If you have a child that is afraid of the dark, it's great to put in their rooms. I made one to hang for my grand daughter's room and she loves it. It's cheaper than batteries or night lights and if the power goes out, they still feel safe.
My favorite, without a doubt, is the hanging chandelier idea using the hanging wire basket. I also like the idea of hanging the basket upside down and putting it atop a pole to make a tall wire solar lantern. AND, because you've removed the chains, I think you might be able to hang more solar lights from the little hooks that once held the chains. Then you'd have a much brighter lamp. I really love these ideas. Keep 'em coming! As my husband likes to say, "You can sell me the world as long as it you sell it a dollar at a time." Okay, so now it's $1.25, but it's still a store full of great bargains, especially for the do-it-yourselfers out there, like us. I'm now a subscriber and I've hit the bell for future posts, so, like I said, keep those brilliant idea coming. PEACE.
You should make a video doing this. I love the idea.
Love the mirror ...can be used so many ways!!
I live off grid in the bush in Australia, and I don’t like having bright light outside at night, because I like to see the stars, and there is no lighting on the road. I do use a few of these to light my way at night I only use about 3, as when the moon is out I have enough light to get to my outside toilet and to take my dog to the toilet before bed, I really like a lot of your ideas especially putting them on the broom handles so they sit a bit higher. Thanks for the tips. Cheers.
Great ideas, Sara Jane. My favorite was the candle holder with the inverted bowl. It really had a hurricane/tiffany lamp vibe - love it!
Yesssss....Luv it
Me too. I totally love it. It looks very high end.
I thought the same thing that was awesome 👏
Good centerpiece idea!
I love these DT solar lights and I'm always looking for new ways to use them. You had so many awesome ideas, I can't wait to try some. Thank you!
I simply took them and some old crystal globes from bathroom fixture. Flipped the globe upside down and stuck the solar lights down through them into the ground. Makes a beautiful pattern in my flower bed.
The broom hack is PERFECT! We have a 1yr old lab puppy and she keeps digging the lights out of the yard, and chewing them up. So this may put a stop to that 😂😂
I definitely loved the idea of putting the solar lights on a mop or broom stick. My plants in front of my house grow so big they practically bury my solar lights.
As did I. I love the idea's. They are brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing your excellent ideas.
@tina scott what kind of fertilizer do you use for your plants to grow big or whats your secret i need help with my plants Not growing
Mine, too! Am going to do what she did!
The outdoor stake lights was ON TIME! Wow thank you so much!!
LOVE ALL YOUR DOLLAR TREE LIGHTS PROJECTS THAT YOU SHARED WITH US!!! I LOVE THEM ALL!!!
My son and his girlfriend just bought their first home (proud Mom moment, they are 22 and 21 😉) this year and they have an amazing front and back yard and these ideas will be perfect for them ☺️❤️
Wow that’s crazy I don’t know 35 year olds that have good enough credit to do that nowadays lol
@@d-boyzeighteenhundred right! But I ALWAYS drummed in my kids heads that credit is EVERYTHING and these days even some jobs do credit checks before they hire you, which is insane!
Congratulations Shannon!! My daughter just got married last fall after having to cancel it a few times due to Covid! They just bought their 1st 4 bedroom home and I’m going to make crafts using these ideas for her 3 porches, yes 3 and also for by the fire 🔥 pit! She just closed on the house Thursday and she’s excited to get all new furniture and redecorate the inside as it’s a bit dated!
I love the chandelier idea and the 3 light hack on the wooden base! I have a coffee table for one of my decks and this would be perfect for more lighting!! Thanks for the tips!! ❤️
My favorite is the lamp using a candle holder a d glass bowl. Neat idea! I think I'll make some for friends. Thanks very much.
brilliant ideas! I always have a few solar lights with broken bottoms, and thanks to you, I will keep them going in a whole new way. Best wishes!
I just threw some in my bin!!! I'm getting them out!!! 😊
What a cute and innovative idea! Especially on a budget. Been trying to jazz up my little yard with painted rocks around my tiny garden. These ideas will be wonderful a long my banister and a long the steps! Thank You! 🌹
Love the solar lamp DIY with glass candle holder and glass bowl - so cute ..and then seeing the solar light in various glass containers made it more difficult to choose ONE favorite. Also, love the camping hack of adding the solar light to a water bottle - great idea!
I tried the one with the solar light and mirror. And I am in love with it. Now I gotta make more.
I loved the 4 lights on the board and the paper lights .. we may need these for outdoor/indoor lighting soon the way our country (Australia) is heading with climate change. They can be moved outside during the day and back inside at night for lighting. Loved all the ideas .. thank you.
Hi Sara Jane 👋 these are literally some of the best ideas. These can be used as well to help support or hang the lights at the cemetery as well. It’s hard to come up with good lighting ideas that do not cost a fortune and these ideas are just amazing. Thank You! Have a great rest of your day 🌻🦋🕊✌🏻
You, young lady, win my " BRIGHT THINKER, SHINING DOER " AWARD for March 2022. Lot's of great ideas here, presented in a manner that keeps a viewer interested, and the information is cost effective. Great Job.
Oh pleeease....
I loved this idea so much I started using old CD,s /DVD’s
all great ideas, if money is tight..if you need to light up a dark area...lots of great ideas from the dollar store or other stores, with easy stuff to modify...thumbs up from this field engineer
That last jar was beautiful! I loved all the tips and I’m gonna save this. I just bought a bunch this morning, can’t wait to try these ideas.
I love love love your clever and practical approach to crafting! I know I’ve said this before but I truly mean it: you are a treasure and I am grateful for you!
All of your ideas and creations were very cool. Loved them. I have thought of a couple of those ideas myself, but you had so many more ideas.
My favorite of yours was the broom handle extention. I never thought of that one.
Thank you for sharing.
I love all of your ideas! You are VERY creative! I'm always on the lookout for inexpensive crafts to do with my granddaughters and you are my new "go to".
Can't wait to make the mirrors! Also have done the no handles to replace the stakes from last year (bunch broke over winter), what a GREAT IDEA!!!
I made an LED chandelier lamp. I turned the metal planter upside down with a solar light in the middle, spray painted it silver and added diamond wrap and hung chandelier beaded garland all around it. Came out so pretty!
Omg 😃😃😃
@@Donna777 and the solar light I used was from Family Dollar for $2 and looked like a round ball of giant rhinestones.
OMG I love these ideas. Thank you so much and right in time for my SPRING projects!! Keep up the great work ♥
Great info and ideas, but the real reason that I'm subscribing is because you have a REAL PERSON narrating!! I love it!! Thanks!!
They are all beautiful but I really liked the one that made a snowflake pattern. Definitely going to try some of these!❤️
Really love the idea of using it inside my outdoor lantern. I also have a special candle in a glass lidded jar that I’ll convert when the candle is finished. Thank you
Wow, you're so smart. I love creating decor inside and outside of the house.
Love these ideas! My 2 favorites are attaching the solar lights to the small mop sticks to map them taller (I've got chickens so it's perfect for their coop)! The 2nd is the attaching the lights to the mirrors for extra Brightness! That is BRILLIANT! Thanks for the ideas!!! Very genius on a budget! ♥️🙏
Oh my goodness! I absolutely LOVE these ideas!!! Thank you so much!!! It's hard to choose a favorite because I love them all, but I can definitely see the solar light on a broom or rake handle on both sides of our driveway to make it easier to see after dark.
I use these lights in my planters too. Great ideas for other uses. Thanks.
Thank you so much!! I was looking at solar lanterns and they are pretty expensive. Now I can make my own!! I will be going to the dollar tree soon to get my supplies!
Impressive!! My 2 favs are the solar hook and the table shelf solar lights !!
Thanks for these cute and creative ideas! I didn't even think about using the solar lights in this manner. I really like the party light idea as I could never figure out how to light the paper lanterns. Tea lights usually don't work since they are too small.
Thank you so much - I have solar string lights all over my yard but never thought about using the solar lights the way you demonstrated.
Where did you get the solar string lights? Thankyou 😊
I bought so many jars from dollar tree for my wedding and bought battery fairy lights to go inside. I wish I saw this first! Don’t know why I didn’t think solar lights. How perfect and don’t have to worry about turning them on or the battery dying. You’re geniuses!!!!
Good inside ur apt too when lights go off.👈🏼👍🏽🤗
No way I could pick just one. But I especially love the hanging ones which I'll put on my back yard fence. I have a big yard & 5 border collies which are mostly black. When it gets dark, I can't see them! These should light up just enough so I can see my dogs without bothering the neighbors. Love ya Sara Jane!
This blew me away! One of my all time favorite videos from anyone, ever💗
Thank you so much for always sharing such amazing and affordable ideas!!
These were really clever. I can see gift ideas that my daughters would love and appreciate. Great ideas!
These are some of the best ideas I’ve seen!! Love it the mirror and paper lantern one!!!! Thank you!! 😄😄😄
Thanks so much 😊
I liked the mirror and broom handle ideas. Also, good tip carrying the solar light around the store to find which jars work.
Yup!
I imagined just that 🤓
I love how you have found so many clever uses for the solar lights!
Such cool ideas!!! Just finished my back porch and you gave me so many great ideas!!! Thank You!
