You can decorate with solar string lights any time of the year. The availability of red, blue, green, and clear make them a very popular choice for outdoor Christmas decorations. By using solar string lights, you are able to decorate areas that would normally be difficult or impossible to decorate if your lights required you to connect to an electrical outlet. You can use solar string lights across the top of your house or draped over bushes in your yard. You can even decorate your dog’s house for Christmas with solar lighting. If you have a garden trellis that is typically filled with flowers but is otherwise empty in the winter, you can easily decorate that as well. Put the lights on a small tree in your yard. Wrap the lights around your porch post if you have some. Outline the front door with a string of solar lights to draw attention to a beautiful wreath hanging on the door.
You can extend the use of solar powered lights throughout the winter in different ways. Instead of using the multicolored lights that give your home a holiday look, use solar string lights that are clear or possibly blue. Snowflake, icicle, and star designs can be used during the winter months to add a soft illumination to your home, patio, or garden area.
Instead of retiring your red solar light fixtures after Christmas, you could use them to decorate your yard for Valentine’s Day. If you have a garden bench, or possibly two chairs and a table, as a seating arrangement in your yard, wrap red solar string lights around them. The red illumination of the sitting area adds a romantic touch to your outdoor space. Placing string lighting around a topiary or a metal heart sculpture is also a good decorating tactic for the month of February.
Creatively use the green solar string lights for St. Patrick’s Day decorations. Perhaps you could light up some shamrock yard art with a string of clear solar lights. As you can see, the opportunities for being creative with solar powered lights are endless!
