A bunch of solar light creation I did, maybe give you some ideas! Raggedy Ann, The blessed Mother Mary, Beauty and the Beast, A ship, Children on a swing, a bear on top of an antique coffee pot and more....

This is the Raggedy Ann solar light fixture.  In this photo you can see the base which was an old candle holder attached to a piece off an old white lamp.  The top you can see a globe from another light with a cap from another light fixture.  The solar light is located at the very top.  At night raggedy add lights up for a nice night light for a childs bedroom. I have it in a dark room so you can see the solar light lighting up.  I added some fake pearls around the base of Raggedy Ann.

This is a closeup of the top.  The glass globe has etched glass.

This is an antique coffee pot which I used just the bottom, the top I used for another project a while ago.  I added to the top a plastic caboose.  This caboose was a white plastic item which came with flowers in it from one of the flower companies that you order flowers from.  It was white so I painted it to match the color that I painted the coffee pot. The coffee pot started out as silver, now it's gold with detail work on it.  I put the whole thing together with a threaded bar.  I had to drill a hole in the bottom of the coffee pot and also the flower holder (Caboose).  This  goes to show you what you can do with the flower holders after the flowers die off.  On the inside of the caboose I added a teddy bear figurine, small fake flowers and also steeples on both sides of the bear.  On the very top I added a little statue of a woman which was the top of a pen.  I drilled two holes in the top of the caboose for the solar lights.  This also lights up on the inside at night.  

This was a childs lemonade holder (a toy)  Well I had a different idea for it.  I took out the insides of it and added it to a base of a lamp.  I then put a statue of a boy and girl on a swing on the inside with fake flowers.  Under the boy and girl I added sparkle felt for the ground under them.  In front I added an angel and decorative octagon shape item that has birds on it.  I spray painted this item black with some gold.  The little boy and girl light up at night.

This used to be a claw machine, a toy.  I put a water fountain in it, I painted it gold and added some marbles in the area where there would be water to make it sparkle.  I also added fake flowers and an angel.  You can do a lot of different scenes with a claw machine.  The inside of the scene lights up at night, I drilled a hole in the top and installed a solar light.

This used to be a hanging light.  If you turn it over you can see the light fixture.  I added a glass  bowl to the top of the fixture and marbles on the inside.  I also added a solar light which lights up the marbles at night and shines through the curved glass on top.  I also added solar lights in the area where there would have been light bulbs, as you can see on the bottom.

This is a view of some of the other solar light fixtures I did using candle stick holders, pieces off old lamps, marbles, old water holder. You can also see an M&M machine which I attached to a candle holder base.

This is a close up of the solar light creations.

This is another close up.

Here are some more of the solar light fixtures.

In this photo you can see Raggedy Ann in her solar fixture.

This is a close up of raggedy ann.

This is an older metal bubble gum machine which I put together with a lamp base, On the inside is crystal looking marbles and a ship.  When this lights up at night people tell me it looks like a storm around the ship.

When it was my daughters wedding I made this one.  It's a plastic bubble gun machine which I added to the inside ( Beast)  from Beauty and the beast, he is holding the dome with the rose in it.  I also added a white arbor around him and fake leaves.   You will see what I added to the bottom of the gum machine in the next photo.

I added a rose in the base with some rose petals lying on the bottom to make it look like the rose is losing it's leaves.  Where the gum comes out I put some more rose petals. The inside of this bubble gum machine lights up at night.

This is another view of the solar lights.

In this photo are two PVC pipes which I spray painted green and the other black.  I added some pieces off light fixtures and solar tops on top.

This is hard to see, but it's tinkerbell inside an old light fixture.  I installed this on top of a PVC pipe which I painted red to match the light fixture that I painted red.

Here is Mother Mary.  I purchased this statue of mother Mary inside of a plastic dome,  I decided to add a base under her which was an older light fixture from the 1920's.  In order to be able to get a solar light to light up mother mary at night I glued a piece off another light fixture to bring up the height and installed a top of a solar light.

This is a closeup of the 1920's light fixture, it is was turned upside down you would be able to see it as a light fixture.   I always buy any lamps or pieces of light fixtures I can find from Flea Markets or Garage Sales you never know what you can use it for.  I hope these pictures give you some ideas.  Mother Mary lights up nice in my home at night, just make sure you let your solar lights charge in the sun during the day.  If the electric ever goes out you will still have electric.  My whole front lawn lights up at night and my back yard.
