When it comes to TikTok hacks, some are definitely better than others, like this woman's solar light craft. She says that she learned how to make these charming lights on the social media platform, which allowed her to create a massive collection of them for her backyard.
And, because she made these instead of buying them, she was able to produce more of them without having to worry about blowing out her budget.
These are actually super cute and we think we're going to give this project a try over the weekend so that we can get some enjoyment out of them before summer comes to an end!
As you can see from the ones that @lotsofdazzle put together, you can opt to go with plain lights for this project, or you can use colored plastic for a little extra pop.
Pro tip: if you can't find the color plastic you want to use, trying getting clear containers and then making your own "colored glass" using the tried and true method of combining food coloring and Mod Podge!
After you're done you'll have some beautiful solar lights that will really set the scene without having to worry about busting open your piggy bank to make it happen. And that will be especially good news for anyone who has already splurged a little too much with their summer garden (it's us, we're anyone )!
Adding some solar lights to your garden is the perfect way to create a night garden, TikTok's latest gardening trend.
Night Gardens Allow For More Outdoor Enjoyment
A night garden is one that has features that can be enjoyed once the sun goes down. These solar lights, light up statues, and even hardwired electrical features all give your yard a little something extra that you can see during the daytime as well as the evening hours.
With how hot it has been most days, night gardening is likely going to become even more popular, since many people have been under heat advisories that recommend against going outdoors during the day, which means that nighttime is the only time that some folks can even get outside!
If you want to get started on a night garden, you should head to Dollar Tree or another discount retailer and start by picking up a few inexpensive solar powered lights. Over time, you can add to your collection, creating a landscape that brightens up as soon as dusk hits.
DIY Solar Lights Shine Brightly
In fact, using the OP's hack will help you add a little color to your night garden, making it look more versatile and dimensional. So, what are you waiting for? Give this craft a try today!
