Unique DIY Dollar Tree Outdoor Lighting Decor
By Mike-Ross
Enhance the nighttime charm of your garden with this exquisite Dollar Tree outdoor lighting decor. The captivating shadows it casts have completely won me over. I discovered this brilliant idea from Tina Did It on YouTube, and it's a swift and effortless project that can be accomplished over a weekend. You have the option to hang it on a tree or position it on the ground for optimal effect.
Required Materials:
1. 4 pieces of 5x7 frames
2. Splatter screen
3. Solar light
4. Bath mat gems
5. Chain
6. Hot glue
7. E6000 adhesive
Instructions:
Step 1:
Start by acquiring the frames from the Dollar Tree and open them up. Empty out all the contents, including the glass, and set them aside for future DIY projects. Use scissors or your hands to remove the clamps holding the frames together.
Step 2:
Take the bath mat and position one frame on top of it. Cut out a piece of the bath mat to fit inside the frame, ensuring that the indented side is facing outward to accommodate the placement of gems later on. Apply hot glue along the edges of the bath mat and secure it to the frame. Repeat this process with the remaining frames.
Instructions:
Step 3:
Using E6000 adhesive, carefully glue the bath mat gems onto the indented areas of the frames. Allow them to dry completely before proceeding.
Step 4:
Transform the frames into a box shape. Start by applying E6000 glue to the long sides of one frame, then attach the other two frames to create the box structure. Use objects or supports to hold the frames in place while the glue dries. Once the glue has fully dried, add the final frame, but do not remove the supports on the sides.
Step 5:
Proceed to create the top part of the decor. Take the splatter screen and measure it to fit the opening on top of the box. Cut it out to ensure a perfect fit.
Step 6:
Focus on the top part that contains the solar light. Set aside the bottom part, as it won't be used. Make a hole in the center of the splatter screen and insert the solar light through it. Use glue to secure the light onto the frame.
Step 7:
Attach the ends of the chain on all sides of the frame. You can skip this part if you are putting it down to the ground.
