Turn Dollar Tree Items Into The Cheeriest Flower Light Feature For Your Patio

Thinking of unique ways to decorate your outdoor space can sometimes be difficult, but this Dollar Tree DIY will give your patio a gorgeous glow while showcasing beautiful florals. This project is a really inexpensive and easy option to add beauty and a little light to your porch or patio, since all of the supplies are $1.25. By placing some faux flowers and greenery as well as the low cost retailer's Garden Collection sunflower solar lights into a cute container, you'll make gorgeous home decor that will bring cheer to your space.

For those that like a more rustic aesthetic, try using the metal bucket with rope accents to hold your flowers and lights, though any larger, opaque container will work. Dollar Tree's round storage tub with handles would be another pretty option, or if you'd prefer something that looks more similar to a flower pot, try the large colorful bowls. Before choosing a container, consider what size you'd like your decorations to be and what style fits your patio best. With a bit of creativity and hot glue, this simple Dollar Tree DIY will create a unique lighting feature.

To ensure that your solar lights and faux flowers are stable in your decoration, you'll need a few pieces of floral foam blocks (4 for $1.25). Use hot glue to attach your foam to the bottom of your bin. While you might only need a piece or two in the center, it may be easier to cover this area with floral foam for larger containers. Stick several of the sunflower solar lights throughout the foam, and hot glue all around them to ensure they don't move. Now, you can begin filling in the rest of the space with flowers and greenery. Dollar Tree's assorted sunflower bushes would be a great choice for this project, as well as the sunflower stems.

To add more green to your decor, try putting some fern and spider bushes into the container as well. If you've placed all your faux plants and can still see inside your decoration, floral moss can be used to cover the base of your project and hide any visible foam or stems. To spice up this DIY even further, you could tie ribbons around your container or turn them into bows and glue them wherever looks best. Additionally, Dollar Tree signs could be placed amongst the flowers to give your decor more character. Not only will this beautiful DIY light up your backyard patio, but the sunflowers will help bring a cheery aesthetic to your space.
