With a little imagination, the humble garden solar lights can be transformed into custom lanterns for patios or decks, jar lights for indoor decoration, or campsite markers for safer walking paths. Use them for sheds or small spaces, they are useful during power outages too. Reuse old lights instead of tossing them helping reduce waste and saving cash. Each project teaches valuable skills and solar hacking is practical and enjoyable.
