Spring is one of my favorite times to shop at Dollar Tree. I’m always amazed at the outdoor items they offer! I like to make my backyard inviting since my family tries to spend as much time as possible outdoors before the weather gets too hot. When I saw these adorable battery operated lanterns, I knew I wanted them to add some fun decor (and light) to a trail in my yard. Here’s how I made hanging outdoor lanterns for cheap!
Project estimate:
- Plant hangers – $1 each
- Lanterns – $1 each
- Sharpie – on hand





I like this so much that I’m heading back to Dollar Tree this week to buy more! My little path needs more light. These lanterns would be a great way to light the sidewalk to your door, or to provide a little light in your landscaping. You could even attach the plant hangers to a tree or to your fence for lighting. Wouldn’t these look great at an outdoor party or reception? How would you use these hanging lanterns?

LOL…I was just holding one of these last night, debating between it and more washi tape (washi tape won – there’s been a real run on that stuff!). Looks like we’re both heading back to Dollar Tree tomorrow. :)
