These are great! I also appreciate that you have not jumped on the bland 'neutrals' bandwagon. I enjoy your colorful style!

Great project. Not only will it function as a solar lantern at night but during the day, the crystals can function as suncatchers.

Wow, yet another fantastic idea. I'm going to have to make a couple to surprise our granddaughter when I send the new curtains I'll be making her next week. Now hopefully someone still have the lights left in stock!

those beads are beautiful. what a magnificent glow you'll get on your way to your studio!

I love, Luv, LUV these!! Now I'm going to refer all my neighbors to you when I start stealing their trash! ❣❣❣❣

Oh Mark these are so wonderful, i love those glass beads, and i have a stash of colored antique crystal prisms from old chandeliers i need to use up. Everyone sends their hellos . and my postcards are being mailed out today , FYI i am an altered art Virgin, be kind, lol

Love this, so fun. My fiance's Dad has about a million of those dollar store solar garden lights that are aimless placed in the yard. Love the idea of hanging them instead!

Good morning Mark. I always like your solar projects- I mean what's not to like solar power , art & recycling!!

Have a great weekend.

HOLA MARK, ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO AND BEADED SOLAR LIGHTS! DOESNT TAKE MUCH ONLY YOUR GENIUS CREATIONS. LOVE THEM. MAKING SOME FOR MY OUTSIDE NEAR MY WINDOWS! NOT ONLY ARW THEY BEAUTIFUL BUT IT SERVES FOR SECURITY TOO.!😄👍 THANKS MARK. FROM TUCSON ARIZONA ALWAYS, GLORY MONTANO MACHADO..🌿🌺🌿

Mark what a great project..And I like your new intro. Talking to your audience ahead of time before the project gets started is genius. Take care/be safe/and God bless you 💐🙏❤

Love these❤️So much prettier than the plain old solar lights on a stake that you stick into the ground! These look magical✨

Love anything that sparkles ! These are so pretty.

How beautiful to have these happy little solar lights hanging in your trees. I love this idea!!! Lol, I am a night owl too and get most of my creative ideas late at night. Thank you soooo much for this idea!

Love it ....love it....love it....wonderful....ready ...ready...ready...👍👍👍

I love these so much! A great way to recycle and have fun crafting!

Good Morning from the Midwest Mark! First I must say your ladies are lovely today😉 These lanterns are the cutest!!! They would be amazing at the camper for a walk to the river. Thank you for the super idea and have a Great Weekend 😎

Thanks Mark for all the fun.. your DIYS are the best ... straight to the point no fluff...and easy! I like to watch 4 or more at a time caz they are just the right length of time! Keep up the great work!

Love this and already have everything on hand to make....i have been in a crafting block lately and this is the perfect craft to get me out of it....thank you

Omg I’m just in love with the new background! Is so fresh and pretty! Also the lanterns are heckin cute.

I am in love with these! I love anything solar and made a couple of solar jars once I finished my pickle! Love pickles but like to upcycle the jars! Can't wait to try these! Mark, I know I have said it before but I will say it again, you are wicked awesome! Peace and love to you and the family!

Like the update to your backdrop. Great mix of beads.

My head is spinning right now these are gorgeous, but we could take them a step further with last weeks earring project and really make them pop! We are having canned corn every meal the rest of the month. Of course I will switch it up with green beans once in a while lol! Mark I love your creative mind so much! I love the rest of you too, though! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love your inventions! Recycle is great, I also love to think new ways on using things! Thanks for sharing this great idea!

Of course I love these just stunning. Stay safe my friend.

wow, the beads are so pretty.

They turned out beautiful! Thank you for this great tutorial.

Blessings to you. Love the yard. Greatest idea

Great way to recycle and keep things useful and beautiful!

Absolutely obsessed with these!!!!! New here!!!!!

everything you make you make it seem easy to make and your videos are very relaxing-thanks for the creativity

Many questions that are not on topic exactly: 1) Will we ever get a tour of the Craft House? 2) What are you doing with all of the stakes/stems of your solar lights? 3) Do you photograph all of your hanging projects in the same spot? 4) Is that spot specifically set up for photographing hanging projects? 5) Who is the team behind Mark Montano? 6) Will you ever have a project that features solar stakes without the lights? (#6 is basically the same as #2, right?) I always figured you for a California boy, but your Wikipedia article says you were born in Colorado. It also says you are 55! I feel like this is impossible. But Wikipedia often has basic biographical data wrong. Have you done any videos that feature recycling plastic bottles like the kind that shampoo and lotion typically come in? I’m like you in that I like to reuse the containers that our products come in. I feel like all of those product containers have so much potential that’s being wasted. On a side note, even though most cans these days do not contain any tin ( though not precious, tin is still rare) it isn’t incorrect to call the metal housing “TIN”. Tin is also slang for moolah. I am now wondering if it is possible to punch plastic bottles similarly to tin cans to make lanterns. I like your lights but I’m happy enough with punches cans and my wire wrapping skills are sufficient to not need suspension holes in a can. A similar technique to the one you used to on the wire suspender could be used around a can so the beaded dangles could be suspended from a can. You could also just punch holes in the bottom of the can. Oh. An actual use for the stakes! Since those solar light stakes usually come in two pieces, you could glue the stake to the bottom of the can. That way you can make the light shine downward. I’m totally going to color a can with alcohol ink and a fill it with water tonight. I just finished a can of olives. Tomorrow I shall punch in a decorative pattern. Happiness is a cool craft project.

As usual I love this project! Thank you Mark for so many incredible ideas! Have a great weekend!

I love them.

Very good idea. Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend.

Awhhhhhh The light catches the beads beautifully! I love it! Super fantastic recycle project, that is SO pretty! I also love the new backdrop, it looks super cute!

I'm like you: I'd rather recycle where I can.

Hi Mark, I am sorry I haven't been around, I will catch up on your videos. I went to visit my little sister on the 6th and found her passed away. It has been very hard. I like your project very much. Stay safe and well my friend.

Cool beads. =) Wow!! Those are beautiful lanterns. I love them. =)

Very cleaver

Awesome as always Mark!! I shared it! 😘🥰🤗🐝🦋🐞

Hi , Love your channel 😊

Hi dear Mark 💝 It's beautiful😘 I love the way u create things👍👌

Another great project from you! These lanterns are awesome! Unfortunately in my part of the world solar lanterns don't get enough sunlight to get charged 6 months of the year, but I'm thinking of maybe using led tea lights instead. Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi Mark lovely project. I don't think I'll try this cause I can see me cutting my hands. Just me I am super clumsy. Have a good weekend.

Hi Mark... The boho hippie in me just adores these beaded lanterns. I did checkout all the flavors of beads available from John Beads and how did you choose??? So many great combinations and each box has such a variety of shapes and sizes, awesome blends. Adding them to my Amazon wish list today!

Love that Lamps for the garden! Thank you to share with us Mark! How can i get your books!?💛

I want to paint wine bottles for outside so needs to be strong paint, which do u recommend please

So what do you do with all those sharp metal scraps?

Hey mark this project looks so easy I will try do not have those scissors can I leave can whole to do the project
