First up I have a super-fun giveaway to tell you about and then scroll down to see the fun airbrushed solar light sign I made using the Testors AirBrainz Airbrush Kit and their acrylic paint.
Leave a comment in today’s post by August 4th, 2016 and you are in the running for Testors AirBrainz Airbrush Kit that paint set, the airbrush, stencils and canned air.
Open to U. S. residents only please.
Now onto the fun solar light sign tutorial.
These lights look festive and pretty during the day as they are charging.
And at night they light up and look so pretty!
I had so much fun painting these cups and playing with colors.
In addition to the Airbrush kit Testors also makes a great Mini Powairpod AirBrainz Air Compressor which I opted to use for this project.
Also needed are recycled plastic cups that fit over solar lights. I got mine at the 99 cents store but I bet recycled plastic cups or containers would work great too. All that you need do is make sure the bottom of the container is clear so the solar panel is still exposed to sun light.
For the base I used a scrap of wood. I measured the strip of wood to equally space out the solar lights.
I wanted to do a test cup or two so I covered glasses in white paper to protect them and keep the cups in place. This also made it easy to spin the cups while painting them.
This was so easy and fun!! I started with the pink along the bottom (top) edge of the plastic cup.
I simply sprayed the paint around each cup. I did do two light rounds so the paint wouldn’t run.
Then I did a stripe of orange and then yellow.
I brought the strip of lights into my garage to see how they looked. So colorful!
I wanted to add one more element to my rainbow solar lights a word. SUMMER felt like the appropriate word for these festive lights. I simply used my Sizzix die cutter with a bit of black paper to cut the letters. I used temporary glue dots to attach them to the cups. I plan on switching out my letters to other words as my mood and the seasons change.
