101 Handmade Days: DIY Hanging Lanterns

This post may contain affiliate or brand partner links. Read our full disclosure here.

There are a lot of things I’d love to do to my back yard, it is in definite need of a makeover…. but in the meantime, I’m making the most of the space and beautiful trees! There is nothing I love more than a little picnic and some reading to relax after a stressful day. But sometimes it gets a little dark before I’m ready to go into the house, so I added some DIY hanging lanterns to my favorite tree!

Now that the temperature is starting to drop a little and fall is approaching, I anticipate spending a lot of time outside. A LOT! I’ve missed relaxing under my tree, reading and snuggling with my puppy. With my new DIY Hanging Lanterns in place I can stay out there as long as I want!
