These pumpkin lanterns are super quick to assemble. It will probably be the easiest functional halloween decoration you will ever make. All it takes are the $1.98 pumpkins from Walmart and solar path lights. I bought mine from Lowes. I used a one-inch drill bit and a two-inch drill bit. In a matter of minutes your sidewalk will be illuminated with glowing jack-o-lanterns.
This is literally the easiest thing you will make from the internet. Carefully drill a hole in the bottom of the pumpkin. This should not be done on a surface that you care about. Once that drill bit pops through there is no stopping it. I ended up doing this on the ground so I wouldn’t damage anything. Then take the 2-inch drill bit and finish the job. You may need to widen the hole just a bit with a serrated knife or box cutter. Just be careful.
Poke the base of the light through the bottom of the pumpkin and assemble the light per package directions. The lanterns I chose were 5 inches. I think I would like them better if they were just a tad bigger. I linked a 6-inch set below. Once you have the lantern assembled, stick it in the ground where you want it to go. Thats it! And now you have a spooky Halloween walkway.
I would love to hear how this turned out if you decide to make it. You can email me at beckiel@crazymessylovelylife.com or leave a comment below. Make sure you sign up for the newsletter so you don’t miss out on the latest DIY’s and recipes from the blog!
The easiest meal prep dinner you’ll ever make. Just assemble the sliders. Pour over a butter mixture and then when I’m ready to cook it we just bake it at 350° for about 20 to 30 minutes until it gets heated through and it’s warm on the inside.
Molly and I are headed to a ladies church Christmas party tonight so we had to throw together a veggie tray for that and assembled this meal for tomorrow night. I’m working a 12 hour shift tomorrow. We will be eating dinner at the party tonight and the boys are going out too. I found some really good looking Duchess potatoes in the freezer section at Walmart today. Check out my stories and I’ll show you. We’re gonna serve the sliders with those potatoes.

Its Friday!
Have you finished shopping yet? I'm almost done.
Molly and I are making Christmas treats today. We will post some in stories as we make them. I forgot I have a hair appointment smack dab in the middle of the day. I better get moving.

if you don’t have a full-size Christmas tree in your bedroom, you gotta do it. I bought this tree at 75% off at Lowe’s the week before Christmas last year. I’m definitely gonna go back this year and see about getting another tree for the dining room. And if you don’t think you have the room, trust me, you probably do. Just shove whatever’s in that corner in your closet. I promise you it will be worth it.
If you have to eat Ramen noodles for a week to be able to afford it, I promise you it will be worth it 🤣
this tree brings me so much joy ☺️
I was so close to not buying it last year because it was the week before Christmas and I really did not want to spend the $85. But I’m so glad I did!

Cover any existing decorative pillow with a pillow cover! You do not need to buy the whole pillow. Just buy a cover to fit an existing pillow. It saves space and money!
I found these covers after Christmas last year for less than $10 a piece.

What a great gift these will make! So easy to make. Don't throw away those old coffee mugs or tea cups. I stead, make candles! Stay too Ed for step by step instructions from yours truly. The bag of wax has a great tutorial on it as well. Check my stories and highlights for the supplies.
