Start with a tin. This one used to have cookies in it. We can discard the top. Now, I'm going to grab some rope from Dollar Tree and hot glue it all the way around the tin. At the very top, I'm going to create two handles. Now, I can use this outside of the barbecue to hold napkins. Just place a rock on top of it. It's going to be a great little container. Here's a simple way to hold silverware. Grab a wide-mouth mason jar and a colorful towel or cloth napkin. Roll up the towel, place it inside the mason jar, and then put your silverware right inside. It adds a little bit of color and fun to your outdoor picnic. Let's make these small Dollar Tree bins look high end. I'm going to use some metallic silver spray paint. I'm spraying each bin inside and out to give it that nice metallic look. These bins are the perfect size to hold plates, cups, and all kinds of things for your outdoor barbecue. Grab a garden holder. Take that flag off and slip on a roll of paper towel. This is a great way to have paper towel at everyone's fingertips and it's really easy to use for your summer barbecue. Grab a sand bucket from Dollar Tree and hang this on a hanging basket rod. I like the ones that can clip right to the side of the table and I'm going to use this to hold bug spray and sunscreen for any of my guests. I hope these tips and easy projects inspired you to use them for your next some entertaining picnic. Head on over to Dollar Tree and grab one of these oversized bins for these awesome grill hacks. Grab a fitted sheet and slide it right on over the top. Makes a wonderful table cloth. Pour some water into a tall pitcher. You've now created a hand washing station. Simply squirt the soap into your hand, pull the spout, wash your hands, and then dry. Use a muffin tin for condiments. Place your ketchup, mustard, whatever you like inside the muffin dish and use this to serve with them. Once you're done grilling that yummy, delicious food, clean your grill with an onion. Simply slice it in half and rub it back and forth. Grab an oversized tub from the Dollar Store. Fill it with ice and place a bunch of your drinks in it. This will help the drink stay nice and cold. Stop bugs from getting into your drinks by pouring the drink in the cup and then placing muffin liners over the top of the cups. Grab mason jars from the Dollar Tree. Kids to by taking the lid off a mason jar. Pick some flowers to use from a colorful bouquet or pick some wild flowers from outside. Then cut the stem off the flowers you want to use. Decide how you want to arrange the flowers in the jar. I try to make sure the flowers are facing outside toward the glass. Fill the jar with water and pour on a layer of olive oil. Add a fragrance floating candle to the top. Next, cut some slices of lemons and limes. Fill and arrange a mason jar with the lemons and the limes. Now, fill jar with water and pour on a layer of olive oil. Add a fragrance floating candle to the top. Light the candles. I love how both of these mason jars turned out. I hope this inspires you to create your own Dollar Tree mason jar lanterns.
