Making a solar light fixture out of a soda bottle


These are the items you will need.  The top off a soda bottle, any color that you want the solar light to be.  This one is from a sprite bottle. You also need a 97 cent solar light from Walmart, and a cap off a milk gallon, make sure it's the soft cap not the hard one.


The first thing to do is slide your solar light down into the soda top with the stem hanging out the bottle.



Then take the soda cap and put a little hole in the middle of it and make some slits out the sides of the hole.  Make sure the slits are not long you need a tight fitting cap.  Slide the cap up the stem this holds the bottle top in place.  Next picture you will see what it looks like lit up.



This is the item lit up. Next picture is another view of the lights.




These make great lights in a garden.  You can even use a water bottle or any other type of plastic bottle.  You can even use a clear bottle and have the kids paint them and light them up.  I hope this give you some ideas be creative!  You could even spray the inside of the bottle with glow in the dark paint (which they sell in Home Depot) use at least four coats of it, it makes the light brighter at night, glow in the dark!
