Hello, dear friends, I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Don’t you just love some fast and fun DIY décor? A $3 Summertime Hostess Gift is darling and checks all the boxes.
A $3 Summertime Hostess Gift
I found a bag of citronella candles in fun summertime colors and the glass jar at the dollar store. Citronella candles are perfect for keeping summertime pests away while enjoying the outdoors. The small bit of raffia and the seashell were things I already had on hand, but you can also find these items at most dollar or craft stores.
I quickly arranged the candles in the jar, closed the lid, wrapped a bit of raffia around the top and added a seashell with a dab of hot glue.
A perfect and inexpensive summertime hostess gift ready in under 5 minutes!
Are you attending any summertime events?

This is the cutest idea and one even I could put together. It would be a super gift for anyone.
What a cute and practical idea! Thanks for sharing!
My blog has moved and I would love for you to check out my new site. Still working on a few bugs, but hopefully it'll be fully functional by weeks end!
