I found this little guy while walking through the woods, scoping out turkey hunting spots. This species spends most of the year high in the trees, so finding it down low is likely a sign that breeding season has begun.

I've always wanted to make my own hanging chandelier for my porch and I found what I needed at the Dollar Store.
I headed out to my local dollar store and I picked up some of this plastic garden fence.
I was able to pick up four of these plastic fences for $1.75 each.
Next, took an old tomato cage and cut off the top portion of it, leaving just the bottom ring.
Then I took a piece of welded wire mesh that I had leftover from another project and I cut it to fit inside the ring.
To secure the mesh in place, I bent the wires around the outside of the tomato cage ring.
For the corner areas where it didn’t quite fit, I took a pair of wire cutters, cut off the excess, and then bent it around the wire so that it's attached to the tomato cage.
To get the fence pieces ready, I broke off the pegs that stick in the ground. The fencing is really lightweight plastic, so it was easy to bend and break off.

I added zip ties every couple of inches to make sure the fence was secure around the tomato cage.
When I got to the end of a fence piece I added on another piece using the guide holes to click it into place.

Once it was all connected and zip-tied on, I painted the entire piece with some white spray paint.
After it was fully dry, I added a little black wax to add some dimension so it wasn't so flat looking. It helped to give the piece the look of rusted wrought iron.
Next, I took

A new awareness of ecological and conservation concerns has resulted in a rising interest in growing native plants and trees. Why are native trees important? One of the main benefits of planting native trees is their adaptability to their specific region. Living in their natural habitat means native trees require less water and fewer herbicides and pesticides to keep them healthy. Trees in their natural environments are also hosts to local wildlife, providing them with food and habitat.

I love solar lighting around my patio area in the summer but sometimes the ones you can purchase aren't very pretty or cost too much for me. I decided to spruce them up with some dollar store vases. These end up costing $2 per light (not including the markers) but look so much better than the dollar lights.
