My dog ate my homework....   actually, my dog chewed up sever brand new but inexpensive garden lights.  All the top, light and solar cells survived in working order, so what to do with these "light tops"?
Here are a couple of many ideas that might inspire you!

The first thing to do is to think. 
I happened to have this giant silver plastic Christmas ornament on a stand,  A glass one should work as well, just might be more difficult to attach.  I also had this cast iron lantern that held a candle but there are lot's of other ways and ideas.

For the glowing globe, I hacksawed off the ornament end and carefully carved the hole until the diffuser that came with the solar light made a firm fit.  The diffuser should fit all the way in so that the light assemble is as close to the globe as possible.

This picture shows the diffuser from the solar garden light in the globe.
