I’m wrapping up my DIY projects… I mean, there were so many of them. Who am I kidding: you know I’m not a DIYer. But this last one was by far the easiest. I needed to make 2 hanging lanterns for our ceremony decor. I went to Crate and Barrel first to find appropriate containers. But, once I saw that it would cost about $9 each, I decided that Goodwill would also have pretty containers. So, with my new idea of finding glassware, I headed to Goodwill and found 2 perfect containers:

Then, hand the 2 jars to Mr. Fro Yo and explain to him what you hope to accomplish while you enjoy a beer outside on a sunny, beautiful day:

After delicious beer is finished, come inside for another and check on the project. Find 2 finished jars sitting on the floor:

We even tested these out by filling them with water and hanging them from a hook outside to make sure that with the weight of the water they would stay put. They worked perfectly! I can’t wait to show you how we’ll use them on our wedding day.
