Summer seems like it is flyyying by! We are halfway through our summer break and soaking up all the sunshine and clear skies this year! I’ve had a ton of questions about our DIY outdoor patio string lights and planters that I shared on Instagram and I wanted to share a quick tutorial with links to the items we used! We put these up for a backyard party for my 40th birthday because I love the ambiance string lights create, but we didn’t want to permanently attach anything to our house (yet). This was a quick and easy free-standing option we have kept up for a month!
