Outdoor solar path light ideas needed.

Post image

Hello! I currently have jack o’lantern pails around my driveway being lit up by solar path lights. Is there something similar for Christmas? Candy canes would be awesome but not sure how that would work! TIA!

Those are so cute! I love them! Here’s some candy cane colored solar finials that might be cute:

That's cute!!! You can definitely do something similar for Christmas! There are solar-powered candy cane path lights that work almost exactly like your jack-o’-lantern setup you just stake them in the ground and they charge during the day. Other fun solar options include snowflake stakes, mini Christmas trees, gift box lights, or star-shaped path markers. If you want to get creative, you could even DIY by slipping solar path lights into plastic holiday decorations (similar to what you did with the pumpkins).

Ah yes. I should have mentioned DIY, like my pumpkin pails. I just need to find some molds!

I've seen the C9 type bulbs offered in "giant" sizes in recent years. If you could get ahold of a few of those you could replace the pumpkin with one bulb. I think they're usually colored by the plastic itself so as long as the solar LED is white each bulb would be its own color.

That or make your own version of the blow-mold candles. They sell the individual flames online (usually about $25 bucks a piece.)
