START DOING IT YOURSELF!!!
If you were lucky enough to score some BLACK solar lights from the Dollar Tree you can skip this step. Mine was out of stock so I had to purchase Stainless steel solar lights---
Prepare the solar light for spray painting by taping the charging cells on the solar light. (As shown in the photo collage above.)
Spray paint the white baskets and solar lights - set aside to dry
With your wire cutter begin cutting out a, "circle," in the center of your basket. It should be big enough to expose the charging cell area of the solar light but not too big where the light can slide through.
Super Glue the solar light to the inside of the basket. Be careful not to place any glue on the charging cells.
Once the glue is fully dried you can now set up!
Hang your basket lamp io the garden stake and start lighting your garden.
I made (3) of these lamps to light up our front walkway. I love the way they glow at night.
