If you're preparing your garden for the long summer nights, this DIY might be for you.
One woman showed her followers the hack she used to enhance her solar lights.
Pelin (@pelinsliving) demonstrated a simple upgrade he made to his outdoor lighting in a viral video.
The Europe-based DIY pro started by buying a solar lamp at a local store for just under $1.
Perrin also selected two white tealight holders with wire detailing on the sides.
She revealed that the entire project cost her about $3 to make from scratch.
As a first step, she removed the spike stand from the solar light, leaving just the bulb and panel.
Perrin used a hot glue gun to attach the bulb base to the inside of one of the tealight holders.
I then glued the bases of the two holders together to create a stand for my DIY decorative light.
Perrin placed the completed solar lights on an outdoor table in the garden to show off the finished look.
TikTok users from different countries shared their opinions about the DIY project in the comments section.
“Thank you for the good ideas,” wrote one impressed viewer from the Czech Republic.
A German-speaking follower commented: “Wow, great idea. I'll try it tomorrow.”
“Thank you for the tip,” a TikTok user commented in French.
A Dutch-speaking viewer said, “That's great, I'll make it too.”
One person wrote that the light was “cool” and the idea was “clever” in Italian.
Another Italian speaker said the idea was “perfect for balconies”.
How to turn your backyard into a little paradise
Houna Bech is an interior designer and founder of the style blog With Houna.
She shared with The US Sun her five tips for transforming a bleak outdoor space into a “sensory little paradise.”
1. Embrace naturee
“Use landscaping, trees, flowers, and the organic environment as your muse,” she said.
2. Bringing the inside out
“Repeat color palettes, textures, and materials to make the transition between indoors and outdoors seamless,” she said.
3. Create zones for specific purposes
“Maybe I'll design a luxury cabana with a plush lounger and vanity for an outdoor makeup session with my girlfriends,” she said.
4. Make comfort a priority
“I'm talking about cloud-like sectionals, upholstered daybeds, and oversized weatherproof poufs that you can really wrap yourself in,” she said.
5. Be creative
“Finally, transform your entire outdoor area into an artistic installation,” says Beck.
A Polish-speaking follower came up with the idea to buy the same tealight holder for DIY.
“I feel like I've got an idea,” said another inspired Dutch-speaking TikTok user.
Perrin noted that the lights are perfect for outdoor use because of the solar panels installed.
“No need to turn anything on or off,” she wrote in the comments section.
She added that the solar light can be easily removed if you want to put a candle inside instead.
