Solar lights on stakes Painter’s tape Weather-resistant spray paint with primer Screwdriver
Wire cutters
Industrial glue
DIRECTIONS
1 Clean chandelier if needed. Remove old lights, candles and wiring with a screwdriver and wire cutters, leaving the flat base on each arm. 2 Separate the solar light fixtures from the stakes. Set the stakes aside. Separate the glass or plastic sconces of light fixtures from the solar tops and bases. Move the sconces away from work area to protect from spray paint. 3 Tape over the solar panels on lights. Spray-paint the chandelier, light tops and bases. Dry completely. 4 Remove tape and reassemble solar lights. Using industrial glue, attach lights to the bases of chandelier. 5 Hang finished chandelier outside from a shepherd’s hook, post or tree limb. 3 bowl. Add 2 oz. water and stir with a craft stick. 4 Cut long pieces of yarn, keeping length manageable to work with. Dip one piece of yarn in glue mixture and wrap strand around a balloon in a random pattern, squeezing the excess glue out as you work. Wrap strand as desired, cutting excess yarn at the end. Tuck the end under another strand to secure. Leave at least one opening in the pattern wide enough to fit a bulb on the string of lights. 5 Hang globe in prepared area. The glue should not drip; if it does, add more glue to the bowl before working on the next balloon. Repeat process for remaining balloons, alternating yarn colors as desired. Dry globes for 24 hours. 6 Pop balloons and remove with tweezers. Remove any excess dried glue. 7 Slide a bulb from light string into each globe. Secure globes to light string with fishing line.
