Ceramic Planter turned Lighthouse!

Ceramic Planter Lighthouse 

This summer has been a crazy busy one! I have made time to make crafts of course just no time to put them up on the blog! So here we go, I created this light house out of ceramic planters, paint, and a yard light.

One hot summer Saturday I stated the creation. 

The design is fairly simple, as you can see it is just ceramic planters turned upside down and stacked on top of each other. 

Unlike most of the crafts I do it was expensive... I recommend buying ceramic planters at the end of flower season to get them on sale! I think I spent $30.00 on all of the supplies. The money was well spent though because it was a gift for my grandparents! :) 

HAPPY CRAFTING!

WINE BOTTLE CITRONELLA BURNER

Ok, so it has been awhile since I've added anything. But I think the wait was worth it. Just in time for summertime.

You will need a wine bottle, I used the one with a screw lid.

I made an X in the lid with an exacto knife and and cut the X. Now bend  the 4 little pieces out.

For the wick I used cotton gauze, take 3 pieces and braid them. I made mine about 6 inches long.

Fill the bottle at least 1/2 way with water and fill the balance with citronella oil, since the wick is only 6 inches long no need to fill  it only with citronella.

There you have it, a simple and cute way to rid yourselvesof those pesky mosquitos.

If you want you can do what I did to dress them up a bit.

I made burlap flowers and hotglued them.

OH CRAFTY SATURDAY HOW I LOVE YOU AND BOY HAVE I MISSED YOU!!
