Buy your solar lights at Walmart instead. They are only $.99 at Walmart versus $1.25 at dollar tree. They are also brighter lumens.

Unfortunately no longer a .99, now $2.99 & up. 🙁

I have recommended having several solar lights that can be brought inside during power outages. This is probably the cheapest emergency lighting you can buy and is much cheaper than flashlights and batteries if only minimal lighting is needed.

I have some set aside that I haven't pulled the tab out of the battery and save them for emergency lighting 😊

You may be underestimating yourself, or downplaying the possibility of your abilities. I bet you can surprise yourself by coming up with some idea/ideas just by walking into a DT. Look around, and as you're doing so and seeing all the things they have,, something will trigger an amazing idea(s)! I don't believe a person has to be a master at crafting or really any level of art etc. And I don't believe a person cannot use their imagination to imagine something and create it (unless it required an architect or electrician etc. to finish a complex project). I do believe many people among those who always say they "cannot", they limit themselves. They don't give themselves enough credit. And until they TRY their hand at something, how will they ever know what they're capable of?! And it does (and can) take more than once to get something the way a person wants. Practice makes perfect. Even those who have done crafting and art for years (myself included) need practice at a lot of various things they imagine or wish to try. And not everyone who has crafted or creates art, etc. makes something on the first try. Some have blocks they find themselves in. I guarantee you can use your own imagination. And in doing so, I guarantee you can create something, anything you put your mind and effort into. And once finished with the first! You'll never stop! All it takes is some inspiration and motivation. Maybe by thinking about something you would like to have in your own home. Something you could use or maybe need? Something similar to something you've seen another person has? Go around and window shop! Look at various things in different stores. Whatever the store is and may carry. You'll see some things you really like and can only window shop for. So look at these things and imagine you have whatever it is you are looking at. Then think about how YOU YOURSELF CAN recreate that same thing! You'll definitely surprise yourself. And oftentimes, you'll imagine recreating something you see, yet include a way to make it different (it slightly) to fit your needs it liking. Don't beat yourself up about it. And definitely don't give up if something doesn't seem to go right. Sometimes mess ups can be fixed, while at other times, the mess ups can actually work into whatever it is you are doing. Also, a helpful tip. *One man's trash is another's treasure.* Believe you me, art is in everything, everywhere, all around Us.

Me , my uncle & all of my cousins had trouble finding are boat dock once the sun went down , so we got solar lights & solar rope lights that change colors or you can manually change the color & set it for that specific color . We pick a color for that night & stick with it , we loaded the boat dock up with them & now it looks like a 70s disco club & now we know it’s are dock from a far distance like well over 3/4s a mile away , looks so cool .

The mirror idea is awesome. During a heavy snow storm in the N. E. a few yrs ago, I was stuck in my mothers mobile home (she was hospitalized) but lit candles and placed them on shelves attached to wall mounted mirrors. The lighting was FABULOUS. This was done on either side of the main living/dining area and it worked extremely well. MIRRORS REALLY BOOST THE LIGHTING.
