Snowman Solar Stakes Lights

Snowman Solar Stake Lights

This is a fun project with items from the Dollar Tree for inexpensive Christmas stake lights.  Here are the items you will need to complete the lights.

1. Here are the supplies you'll need to make my Snowman Solar Light Stakes.  You will also need a sharp utility knife.

2. These two in a package sippy cups were purchased from the Dollar Tree Store.  You want the snowman.  Save the red ornament cup for another project.

3.  For the Snowman light, you don't need the cup lid, so transfer it to the red ornament.  Save the blue lid for another project.

4.  With a sharp utility knife, cut off the screw on top of the snowman.

 

 

5.  Color the existing embossed details of the snowman with permanent markers to outdoor craft paint.

 6.  You are ready for construction.  You need a battery operated solar light with a stake.  This one was purchased from the Dollar Tree.

 

7.  Take the light apart.  You will need only the solar light top and the post/stake.  Save the light cover for another project.

8.  Add a bead of hot glue to the top of the snowman.

 9.  Remove the protective light strip from the solar light top so that the light is activated.  Run a bead of hot glue around the top.

 

 10.  Align the top to the snowman, centering the top.  Hold and press the two together until the glue has set up.

 

 11.  Put  a large dollop of hot glue on the center bottom of the snowman cup.  Run a bead of hot glue around the top of the stake.  Hold two parts together until the glue sets up.  Then add another bead of hot glue around the joint between the snowman cup and the stake.

 12.  Snowman Solar Light Stake is done and ready to put into your holiday display.

 13.  Here is what your light will look like at night.  Total cost for each light is just over $2.00.  A quick, easy project.
