DIY quick and easy LED garden lights

You need to light your yard for a party, but you’re low on cash.  That’s fine — there’s a solution for you.

The folks over at Evil Mad Scientist Labs show us how to make “quick, easy, temporary, and beautiful LED garden lights” using mason jars and cheap LED lights.

For a late night summer party, we wanted to deploy an array of maybe 20 or so little LED garden lights along the periphery of our back yard. And since it was for a one-time event, there wasn’t much sense in buying (or building) a set of nice looking permanent solar lights. So here is an alternative: make your own ultra-low cost temporary garden lights using LEDs, lithium coin cells, and mason jars.

Head over to EMSL to see exactly how they did it.
