Home Project: Solar Mason Jar Lights


Today, I wanted to share about solar mason jar lights.


It is easy peasy to make solar mason jar lights for your porch or deck or outdoor area!

You simply need:

Pint mason jars
Garden solar lights
A hot glue gun


I suggest taking a jar with you to the store to make sure the solar lights fit.  The Dollar stores usually carry the smaller ones.  I found the larger ones at Wal-Mart.


1.  Take the stem off the lights.

2.  Hot glue the rim of the lid.  

3.  Press the light firmly into the jar until the glue dries.

Set out in the sun and enjoy in the evening!  Remember, the lights will need to be in a sunny place to charge in the day.


You can set these along a deck, steps, a front porch, a walkway.  
I have mine along our privacy fence for our deck.
Our front deck has no outlets.  This was a simple way to add lighting without electricity.


Thank you to Jenny for the idea and Megan for the use of her hot glue gun. :)
Try this easy project today and enjoy tonight!

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan
