Do you ever find yourself in a situation where you really need a particular item, but you don’t want to fork over 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 π
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 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 voliΓ ! 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. π
Who’s ready for some s’mores!?
