Message In A Bottle Solar Light

Summer

Share it with others!

Memorial Day is coming, and with a recycled bottle, some paper, and a solar light you can leave a message or write a memory for someone you miss.

You’ll need:

A bottle

Solar light

Paper & pen

Optional – Adhesive

Decide whether you want large sheets of paper or small pieces of paper.

Use the paper to write memories, messages, prayers to a loved one. Decide if this is something for many individuals to share or just for you.

Once all the memories, well wishes, messages, etc are collected, fold or roll up and place in the bottle.

I had this bottle, it came from Dollar Tree but you could easily use a recycled bottle.

Pull your solar light off the stem.

Place the solar light on top of the bottle.

*Optional – if placing outside you can use silicone to adhere the solar light onto the bottle and keep moisture out.

*If you want to be able to add more notes, then glue your light to a cork or lid that will close the bottle but allow you to open it later.

It will look like this in the evening.

You can place it by a bench or chair where you can think about the person you are writing about/too.  This could be used in memory, someone dear is overseas and you’re hoping for a safe return, or perhaps someone who needs prayers for recovery.

    I love this idea for Memorial Day, but I didn’t see it before Memorial Day. So I was thinking that this would be a wonderful idea for a friend or neighbor to leave in their yard, especially with the social distancing we are doing right now. I have a couple of people in mind and am going to do it this week. I am really pretty excited about it! Thank you for sharing.
