    Buy the bell glass shades at thrift stores or garage sales instead of retail hardware stores. Thanks for these fun ideas!

      If you see a discarded ceiling fan on the side of the road, they often have the bell shades. An added bonus, you can make dragon flies out of the blades!

    Everything turned out SO cool!! It blows my mind that you can see random items at the dollar tree (or any where) and come up with all the cute thing you do. I wish my brain could do that!

      You may be underestimating yourself, or downplaying the possibility of your abilities. I bet you can surprise yourself by coming up with some idea/ideas just by walking into a DT.
      Look around, and as you're doing so and seeing all the things they have,, something will trigger an amazing idea(s)! I don't believe a person has to be a master at crafting or really any level of art etc. And I don't believe a person cannot use their imagination to imagine something and create it (unless it required an architect or electrician etc. to finish a complex project).
      I do believe many people among those who always say they "cannot", they limit themselves. They don't give themselves enough credit. And until they TRY their hand at something, how will they ever know what they're capable of?! And it does (and can) take more than once to get something the way a person wants. Practice makes perfect. Even those who have done crafting and art for years (myself included) need practice at a lot of various things they imagine or wish to try. And not everyone who has crafted or creates art, etc. makes something on the first try. Some have blocks they find themselves in.
      I guarantee you can use your own imagination. And in doing so, I guarantee you can create something, anything you put your mind and effort into. And once finished with the first! You'll never stop! All it takes is some inspiration and motivation. Maybe by thinking about something you would like to have in your own home. Something you could use or maybe need? Something similar to something you've seen another person has?
      Go around and window shop! Look at various things in different stores. Whatever the store is and may carry. You'll see some things you really like and can only window shop for. So look at these things and imagine you have whatever it is you are looking at. Then think about how YOU YOURSELF CAN recreate that same thing! You'll definitely surprise yourself. And oftentimes, you'll imagine recreating something you see, yet include a way to make it different (it slightly) to fit your needs it liking.
      Don't beat yourself up about it. And definitely don't give up if something doesn't seem to go right. Sometimes mess ups can be fixed, while at other times, the mess ups can actually work into whatever it is you are doing.
      Also, a helpful tip. *One man's trash is another's treasure.* Believe you me, art is in everything, everywhere, all around Us.

    Buy your solar lights at Walmart instead. They are only $.99 at Walmart versus $1.25 at dollar tree. They are also brighter lumens.

    Last year I got 6 of the flicker solar lights. I live in a condo on the top floor and my deck has no light! So when I got the flicker lights I cable tied them to my railing and they looked great and I got sooo many compliments on them from all of my neighbors and everyone tried to get but they were sold out by the time they got to the store.
