Happy Wednesday!

Do you ever find yourself in a situation where you really need a particular item, but you don’t want to fork up the money to buy it?

Happens to me all the time…like the broken headlight that I have been driving around with all Summer long…

…yes Dad, I know I need to get it fixed…but I also have my priorities 🙂

Lately, I have been ALL about s’mores.

S’more blizzards from DQ, s’more candles, s’more lip gloss…coming from someone that has never been much of a s’mores fan.

I don’t get it, but I’m also really enjoying it!

I decided it was time that I have a s’mores party…but I don’t have a fire pit.

And I’m certainly not going to spend my money on one…after all I need to fix my broken headlight, remember!?

While browsing Pinterest one evening I saw that people make their own fire pits…how smart are they!?

I knew it was time to jump on this bandwagon 🙂

These small fire pits are super easy to make too!

You will need a small flower pot, {I chose a ceramic flower pot, then spray painted it navy and added a white stripe} some river rocks, and a chafing fuel container.

Instructions:

1. Fill the flower pot with the river rocks.

2. Even out the river rocks, so you have a flat surface.

3. Place the chafing fuel container on top of the river rocks. Make sure the chafing fuel container sets up a little higher than the flower pot.

4. Evenly place the rest of the river rocks around the chafing fuel container.

Remove the chafing fuel lid…

… light the container {Don’t be fooled this thing gets HOT!}

… and volià!

You have your very own small fire pit…perfect for making s’mores!

And you didn’t break the bank either, because this little guy costs less than $5 to make!

So you can spend the rest of your money on your broken headlight 🙂

Or I can anyways….

Who’s ready for some s’mores!?

Stay tuned for the S’more Party pics coming soon 🙂

Have a good day!
