A couple of weeks ago I shared how to make a solar light chandelier. Today I'm back with the table top candlestick version!

You can click here if you want to see that chandelier, other wise keep scrolling for the candle stick:
Any sturdy candle stick will do for this project, just make sure it's weatherproof. Mine is a tree themed candle holder that I found at a yard sale for $5. It's nice and heavy so it will stay in place in the wind.

I picked up my solar light stakes and reindeer moss from Dollar Tree.
The solar lights come right off of their stakes, allowing you to attach them to all sorts of light fixtures. As long as the top solar panel receives sunlight, you are good to go!
Using glue I added moss around each of the candle holders. Moss can fade with sunlight, dry out and fall apart in the rain/ snow, so keep that in mind when you decide where to keep your finished piece. You my want to bring it inside for storage when you aren't planning on using it.
Here is how the candle stick looked with the moss. I tucked a few bits in around where the limbs meet the trunk as well.
And here it is with the lights glued into place using industrial strength E 6000 glue.
It's so pretty at night, don't you think?

And that's how easy it is to make your own solar candlestick.
I hope you enjoyed this how-to post, thanks for stopping by!
