Transform Planters into a Lighthouse

I started by painting each of the planters with a blue spray paint, that had a sealer in it.  That way, it saved me a step.  You could use whatever type you wanted, just be sure to seal it if it will be outdoors.  I left this for a few hours to dry.

Next, using white craft paint, I painted the rim of the pot, to add a bit of dimension to the piece.

After that, I painted a small square of white with the foam brush to look like a window.

Using a thick black marker, I added the details of the window.  It took a few coats to make it stand out.

After this was all dry, I turned the large planter upside down, and stacked the medium one on top of it.

To create top, I inserted the solar garden light (with the pipe removed) into the hole of the small pot.  I had to grind around the hole a bit with a file to make it big enough for the light to fit, but it didn’t take much.

When that was inserted and fit well, I added some liquid nail adhesive to it to secure it in.  This will take from 2-7 days to completely dry, so if you’re in a hurry, use something else that will dry quicker.

When the light had fully cured and was stable, I flipped the pot over and slipped it over the middle one on the tower.

Now, you can decorate your yard, porch or wherever you want the lighthouse to be.  Since it’s using a solar light, having it somewhere that gets direct sunlight is obviously the best choice.

Hope you like it!  Please take a minute to leave me a comment.  Let me know what you would do different, or what you would add, etc.  Be sure to tweet, pin, share, etc. – thanks!!
