Here is a solar light I made for our garden. I covered the inside of a mason jar with iridescent glitter and painted the butterfly on the outside. I sprayed it with acrylic sealer so the paint wouldn't run in the rain. (It's rained a few times since I put it outside and it's held up quite well.)
I got the solar lid on Amazon from a vendor called Cellar_Door_Books:

It was $9.99, but I had Amazon credit card points so I got it for nothing (woo hoo!). The light has worked consistently and also seems to be withstanding any rain and I'm very happy with it. I would like to sell something like this if I ever do a craft fair, but I'm afraid the price of the lid would force me to price it higher than most people would be willing to pay. I've gotten cheaper lids and been disappointed, though, so I wouldn't want to compromise quality.
