Day & Night 4th of July Backyard Lights

day:

i took a little bike i spray painted red from TJ Maxx (it was black).

added 3 flags $1.00 each from Target neatly in a clear mason jar.

a ceramic solar light and some string lights...

i love these old fashioned looking string lights :)

i hung them in a "V" shape over our backyard and down the kitchen window.

night:

i love the blue ceramic solar powered tabletop lighting from Target,

it automatically turns on at night and charges in the sun :)

and it's just so pretty!

hanging all the lights made me immediately think of sparky (chevy chase)
from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation...

...yes i am a little clumsy and couldn't get the little tree lights untangled,
but i guess i am not lighting 25000 light bulbs so...

$3 flags, $16.99 solar light, $11.99 old fashioned lights, 

$30 bike including spray paint $0 mason jar from classico pasta sauce ;) 

and $19.99 for outdoor small tree lights = total $81.97 +tax

however, since i already had the bike and the little tree lights i only spent $31.98 :) yay!

always incorporate the old or upcycle to save.

any fun 4th of July projects?

what are your family plans for the fourth?
