Dollar tree outdoor lighting idea diy / picture frame home decor ideas / solar lighting decoration

May 30, 2021
Hello friends, Tina made it here and welcome back to my channel as I promised you that I have some handmade

outdoor

lighting

for you using all the items from the Dollar Tree. I'm actually really excited about this one because you can use it two ways: you can hang it or you can put it on the ground outside and I have a

solar

light there so you don't even need batteries for this. If you want to see how I made this one, keep watching a short story a few months ago. I uploaded this table lamp. I made it using all the elements from the

dollar

tree

.

If you haven't seen the video, definitely check it out. It turned out super cool, so I wanted to make one for

outdoor

s using the same

idea

, so I took four five-by-seven

frame

s. I picked these up from the Dollar Tree, but you can choose any

frame

you want in any size, depending on how big you want your lamp to be, so now I'm basically going to open it up and take everything out, including the. glass and set them aside, we won't be using them for this project, but I will save them for another DIY. Now I'm just going to close those clamps and using scissors or your hands, they will come off the The reason I close them again is to reduce the risk of breaking the frame because the

dollar

tree

frames are a little fragile, so I like to just push the clamps down and then just pull them out by hand or like I said with pliers or scissors now I'm doing the same thing for all four frames and then I'll grab this bath mat from Dollar Tree again.

Everything in this video is from Dollar Tree and I'm basically just going to measure the frame and crop it. the part to fill the frame, so I'm just going to cut this piece out and then measure it and cut it accordingly. The goal here is to have the dip right there facing out, so you're going to turn it around and do Make sure the dip is facing out because that's where we're going to put our gems later, before I forget to mention it.

Now I'm going to do this with my four frames and I'll be right back now that I'm done. With my frames it's time to add our gems. I'm going to use the e6000 because I tried another lamp. I tried hot glue and it doesn't dry so I decided to use the e6000 because of course it dries. It comes out clear but it takes a while to dry so make sure you place all your gems and then leave the frames for a while to dry completely and seal once they are dry it's time to put them together forming a box so I'm I'm just going to flip one frame over, apply e6000 to it and then I'll have the other two frames to the side and then I'll put the top one on and I'm only using e6000 for this step because I don't want the frames to be falling off so here's an

idea

how to keep the frame standing so it doesn't lean back or anything.

I just used a few bottles of paint on the side so that way they can stay in place and here I am. applying um e6000 and putting my last frame on top after putting my last frame on remember that e6000 takes a little while to seal completely so make sure you leave this for a few hours before moving on to the next step now to make the top . I'm going to take this splash screen which is what's going to keep my sunlight on so I'm going to take the splash screen and I'm going to measure it and cut it accordingly so here I'm just cutting the screen to make sure it fits perfectly on the top of the box and before I glue the shade to the box, I'm going to take my sunlight and I'm going to take the part that has the lamp on it, so I'm going to take that black part on the bottom completely. off, we'll set it aside and then I'm going to make a cut in a circle in the middle of the screen so I can slide my sunlight through the lamp that's on top, so if you want to put just the black part , you can go ahead and do it, but I kept my sunlight as it was so that it shines brighter.
If that makes sense, now I'm going to slide this in and then it's time to glue the screen on top. the box and I'm going to do it using my hot glue gun, so now if you're going to put this on the ground outside, you can definitely skip this step, but if you want to hang it, this is what I used to hang. If I use this chain, you can buy it in the garden section, they come with these baskets or they come individually wrapped I guess, but if you can't find them on their own, you can definitely pick up the basket and just take the chain.
Out of it and here I'm just pushing it against the frame and trimming it up so it hangs from the hook, but if you're going to have this lantern on the ground, you can definitely skip this step and that's it. It was very easy, here is the finished product guys and this is what it looks like in the morning and at night, this is what it would look like and I am very satisfied with this, it turned out very nice, but what I think What I'm going to to do with this is to place it on the ground.
I have two steps in front of the front door so I'm going to put one on each step but I definitely love how it turned out let me know if you would do anything different what would you do would you spray paint the frames or what would you do differently but let me know In the comments what do you think of this project. It was very easy to make, but don't forget to stop by. in the comments section and let me know what you think. I would love to hear from you.
