Stars and Stripes Solar Table Lamps

In the Designer's Words: "These old lamps and lamp shades were turned into outdoor solar lamps and painted with stars and striped using craft paint, a printed star template and some painters tape. During the day they show off the red, white and blue. During the night the stars and stripes pattern shows through. Placed around a porch or patio they can brighten the night and make the scene festive for the patriotic season. The pattern is easy enough to make that with a few alterations, other flag patterns could work, as well. Come see the full tutorial and how they light up at night!"
