Head down to your local dollar store and grab some mason jars, wood pallets, rope, and coastal embellishments for this porch lantern project.
The first thing you should do with your mini pallets is hot glue two of them together. Let them sit for just a minute so they can dry.
The next step is to take some rope and lay it across the back of the wood pallets you glued together.
Now flip the pallet over so the front is facing forward. Pull each side of the rope through the space just above the bottom slat. Then pass both sides of the rope over 2 slats and slip them into the next slit and towards the back again.
Now run the rope down the backside under two slats and then pull it back up through the next slit towards the front.
Attach the mason jar to the pallet by adding a bead of hot glue to the back of the jar and securing it to the middle of the pallet. Line up the lip of the jar to the slat where the rope is coming out.
Once the jar is in place, grab one side of the rope and pull it tightly across the jar lip. You can secure it in place with some hot glue.
Do the same thing on the other side.
After placing the rope around the jar, run it down the back of the pallet under two slats and pull it out at the space just under the last slat. Now, knot the rope.
Make a cute little bow to finish off the rope. This will also be used to
