Active Time15 minutes
Total Time24 minutes
Yield: 1 centerpiece
Cost: $5-10

Materials

  • 1 Thrift Store Candelabra or Candle Holder
  • 4-6 Solar Stake Lights Stake removed
  • Outdoor Clear Silicone
  • Spray Paint Optional

Instructions

  • Prep: Clean your thrift store candle holder thoroughly. If you want to change the color, spray paint it now and let it dry.
  • Disassemble: Remove the long plastic stakes from your solar lights. You only need the top "head" (light and solar panel).
  • Glue: Squeeze a generous amount of silicone into each candle cup on the holder.
  • Assemble: Press the solar light head firmly into the silicone.
  • Cure: Let the project sit undisturbed for 24 hours to allow the silicone to set waterproof.
  • Enjoy: Place in a sunny spot on your patio table!
