3-Material DIY Illuminated Yard Orbs

Materials
Plastic solar light tops (1 per orb)
Jumbo plastic eggs, neon pink (1 per orb)
Adhesive putty or glue (optional for securing)
Directions
Remove the top panel from the solar light, which typically includes the solar panel and battery component.
Separate the two halves of the jumbo plastic egg and place the solar light top into one half of the egg, ensuring the solar panel faces outward for maximum light exposure.
If desired, use adhesive putty or glue to secure the solar panel to the egg for stability.
Repeat steps for as many orbs as you wish to create.
Place the completed orbs in your desired outdoor location, ensuring they’re in a sunny spot during the day to charge.
