On the flower chandelier you could add a long string of fairy lights at the bottom to make it look even more magical.

This is for you and your followers , if you think your light doesn’t work , they also have a battery . So if you have spent time on a project you wanted to keep the battery can be replaced !!! Again great ideas I will be doing some ❤️❤️

The table ones that you put the glass beads in, you could also put fairy lights in. The ones that look like light bulbs but aren't very bright, you could add some glass beads to (in the bulb part) The mirror stickers, you could put like 1 (or maybe 2?) strips IN the solar light (mirror facing the light) to get a brighter light with the reflection. Or take individual squares and place them in some kind of strategic design inside, like a checker board or something

I can't believe I haven't thought of putting "gems" right in the solar light! To protect the tops from "sun damage" I use clear nail polish on the actual solar panel. Sometimes I cover them with an upside-down glass item, or layer 2 glass items usinig shells or something for my coastal theme in front of my house as I live near the beach.

The old me used to walk around Dollar Tree scratching my head and saying I can't remember what Bethany told us to buy "people would laugh because they knew who you are and they would ask me which project I'm trying to make. I've learned to do one at a time instead of getting so excited and buying 20 items that are not correct to make anything!! I love everything you show us. I like it when you begin by saying what the project is & what you are making. :) You are the best!! Lisa F.

I think in the fairy lights that you used the solar light bottoms for, you could place a little plastic clear bowl from the wedding section upside down on top after you turn them on. Don't glue, but maybe use a little ticky tack just to hold them in place if it's windy out. Love all of the ideas!

These are absolutely AMAZING 🤩 I got some solar lights from Menards recently, they're pretty, but they could be better. I'm absolutely using these tricks to make them POP! Also, I have a tip!! If you water down acrylic paints a little bit, you can use it as a wood stain. Just wipe it down as you paint with a rag or paper towel. That way you don't have to spend as much time with those pens 😊

Cute ideas. Re your fence. It actually looks like most of the fence panels are still in good shape. You might want to look into fixing the posts that are bad rather than replacing the entire fence. With current lumber prices repairs would probably be MUCH cheaper than replacing the fence.
