Candlestick Light Converted to Solar Light

I took an old candlestick holder that was hanging outside and lit it up with solar lights instead of candles. This can be done with table centerpieces too. It is inexpensive to make and beautiful to look at.

Simply twist off the tubes from bottoms of lights.

Take the tape and tear off 3-4 strips of tape and tape strips around base of lights. This is to make the lights fit snugly in holders.
Set Lights In

Place the lights into the candlestick holes and wait for nighttime! The last 3 pics show some other items I put solar lights in.
