Then you can totally brag and say I made them. No one has to know how super duper easy they were. Shh… we won’t tell. We even put a video together just to show you how easy it is. You can find the adorable pails at any dollar store or on Amazon. If you want to do them up a little more just add some ribbon but we were going for country simple here.

The best thing about these is they can be saved year to year just make more rice. They can line a table or along a fence. Larger versions are also possible if you would like more light. Of course your going to need a light bigger than tea lights.

4th of July Mini Light Pails are great also for memorial day and labor day; not just the 4th of July. Just don’t store them where it is wet cause these little bad boys will rust.
