Posted - Apr 29 2021 : 6:39:37 PM Ooooh, Grace, I did that with a hanging metal chandlier thingy I found at the thrift store, bought those dollar solars lights and created this for about $9 total!!! Love it!! And, it even lights up every evening even though I have it handing under an eve over one of my little love seats! If you don't mind, I would love to copy your idea and create a candelabra like yours? I would love to have one for my glamping picnic table next time I go!! xxxoooooxxxoooo

Posted - Apr 29 2021 : 1:38:50 PM My favorite re-purpose items are light/lamps/chandeliers... also wall scones.. they metal type, that you can gut out the wiring and then, spray paint them and attach on the top parts of those solar sticks that you can buy at Wal-mart and Dollar tree for $1
even an old silverplated candle holder makes for a great solar lite holder...

I really enjoy reusing things. We are finally getting to redo our house, and I have been saving things to reuse. We had some old drawers from the bathroom cabinets that I am going to be turning into plant stands and two five foot long turned pieces that I going to use for legs for one of the drawers ( It will look like a table). I also have some old windows that I plan to turn into wall pieces. . .one will have a shelf on top with a planter-type box on the bottom. Sounds a bit strange, but my mock-up is cute! Hopefully they turn out well. I will post pictures when I get them finished!
Keep reusing those license plates! Nancy 8352 |
