I’m feeling quite ahead of myself today! I’ve got a simple, easy DIY for you with plenty of time for you to put it together. Not to mention, since it all comes from the Dollar Tree, you’ll have to go pick it up asap, since we all know how quickly they sell out of holiday stuff. Besides. If you pick it all up now, you can be ahead of yourself too. Trust me, it feels nice.

This table centerpiece will cost you a whopping $8 total. I know, breaking the bank right? So get your butt to the dollar store stat. Pick up three of these candle holders, three of these candles, the place-mat, and the sparkly wire garland. I wrapped my garland around the candle holder three times and called it a day. Then I poured myself a cocktail. (Okay that last part was only in my imagination. I only wish I poured myself a cocktail. Instead, I had a nice glass of ice water. Heavy emphasis on the word nice. I’m trying to convince myself. Did I at least convince you?)

After I put the centerpiece together, I realized they would make cute little gifts for July 4th too. So I designed a little tag to tie on to the candle, and voila. You now have a gift. A very easy, cheap gift I might add. Is there anything better?
