Beverage Bottle Citronella Torches

If you compulsively browse Pinterest the way I do, you've no doubt seen this DIY in a million different ways. I didn't really pay it a second look until I came up on these adorable San Pellegrino bottles at my local fave for pizza. I just COULD NOT throw them away! I decided it was time to hop on the bottle tiki torch bandwagon. Then I found this GORGEOUS Absolut bottle I had been hoarding and added it to the list of torches. I have a ridiculous amount of torches now. I'm pretty sure there will be no mosquitoes within a 25 mile radius of my deck. I HIGHLY encourage you to do what everyone else on God's green Earth is doing and make these! They're so freaking cute, easy, and can we say sustainable??

What you need: 

citronella torch fuel

tiki torch replacement wicks

bottles and bottles!

3/4" x 1/2" Copper Couplings

#MichaelsMakers: DIY Candle Kit

Happy May everyone! This month's Michaels Makers challenge was to take a class at the store. Well, due to some miscommunication (several of them, actually), that didn't work out for me. So, cue the craft kit! Michaels has an amazing selection of craft kits that include instructions and all the supplies you need to complete it. I chose this oh-so-adorable DIY Chalkboard Candle Kit. It was SO EASY! Follow the photo tutorial below and see if this is something you'd like to pick up and make!
