Glowing Colander Garden Lights
Materials
3 silver metal colanders (approx. 10-inch diameter)
3 black plastic solar lights with stems
9 zip ties (6-inch length)
Garden stakes or hooks (optional)
Directions
Begin by removing the stake from the solar light, leaving just the top bulb housing and the stem.
Turn the metal colander upside down and position the stem of the solar light at the center of the colander’s base.
Use a zip tie to secure the solar light stem to the colander by threading it through the colander holes and around the stem. Tighten securely to ensure stability.
Repeat the process with the remaining colanders and solar lights.
If desired, attach garden stakes or hooks to the base of the colander to secure them into the ground.
Place your glowing colander lights in desired locations within your garden and allow the solar lights to charge during the day.
