IF you’re prepping your garden to prepare for long summer nights, this DIY might be for you.
A woman showed her followers the trick she used to elevate her solar lights.
In your viral videoPelin (@pelinsliving) demonstrated the simple upgrade she made to her outdoor lights.
The European-based DIY pro started by purchasing a solar lamp for just under a dollar at her local store.
Pelin also chose two white candle holders with wire details on the sides.
She revealed that the total project cost about $3 to make from scratch.
In the first step, she removed the pointed solar light holder, leaving only the lamp and panel.
Pelin used a hot glue gun to attach the lamp base to the inside of one of the candle holders.
She then glued the bases of the two brackets together to create a stand for the DIY decorative light.
Pelin placed the full sunlight on an outdoor table in his garden to showcase the final look.
TikTok users from various countries shared their thoughts about the DIY project in the comments section.
“Thanks for the good idea,” wrote an impressed viewer from the Czech Republic.
“Wow, great idea, I’ll try it tomorrow,” said a German-speaking follower.
“Thanks for the tip,” commented a TikTok user in French.
“That’s great, I’ll do it too,” said a Dutch-speaking spectator.
One person wrote that the light looked “cool” and the idea was “smart” in Italian.
Another Italian speaker said the idea was “excellent for a balcony.”
How to make your backyard a little paradise
Houna Bech is an interior designer and founder of the style blog With Houna.
She revealed to The US Sun five tips for transforming a drab outdoor space into a “little paradise rich in senses.”
1. Embrace natureIt is
“Use your landscaping, trees, flowers and organic environment as your muse,” she said.
2. Bring it inside out
“Repeat color palettes, textures and materials so the transition between indoor and outdoor is seamless,” she said.
3. Create zones for specific purposes
“I could design a luxurious cabin with lounge chairs and plush vanities for outdoor makeup sessions with my friends,” she said.
4. Prioritize comfort
“I’m talking cloud-like sectionals, overstuffed sofas, and large, weather-resistant ottomans that you can really wrap yourself up in,” she said.
5. Be creative
“Finally, transform your entire outdoor area into an art installation,” said Bech.
One Polish-speaking follower was inspired to buy the same candle holders for his DIY.
“I feel like an idea is coming,” said another inspired Dutch-speaking TikTok user.
Pelin highlighted that the solar panels meant the lights were ideal for outdoor use.
“You don’t need to turn anything on or off,” she wrote in the comments section.
She added that the sunlight can be easily removed if you want to place a candle inside.
