DIY: Diffuser Cover Using a Dollar Store Lantern

I picked up the cutest little lantern at Dollar General a few weeks ago.  I knew right away that it would be a versatile piece in our home, and garage.

If you’ve been following my Instagram or Facebook stories you know we have been sprucing up our garage a little this summer to make it a cozy little hang out.  When the snow begins to fly we will push everything aside to be able to pull the cars in again, but for now, we’re really enjoying the space.

Anyway, back to the lantern.  I think it was designed to hold a tea light or small candle, but we don’t do those because:

  1. I have small children, a dog, and an overactive internal response to fire prevention.
  2. Diffusing oils is better for your health than candles.

Watch this video to see how I transformed this cute lantern into a cover for our oil diffuser.

Indoors I primarily diffuse Germ Fighter. In the garage, I mix Citronella and Peppermint to deter mosquitos.

I tried to find a link to the lantern, or other pictures of it online but I came up empty-handed. Check out your local dollar stores though, because I’m sure you will find some super cute decor at prices that can’t be beaten. I’ve been impressed with the quality of our Dollar General purchases as well (their wall hangings are usually more lightweight, while still looking like they cost a fortune).

I also scored this huge canvas at Dollar General for just $15 and hung it in the garage! It reminds us of the canoe and lake time we had on our great big family vacation.

Hey Friend! I am truly so glad that you’re here today!

At A Slightly Better Wife, I share about faith, homemaking, homeschooling, and marriage—along with my passion for creating a non-toxic, intentional home. Life isn’t about perfection, but I believe in making small, meaningful choices each day to do things slightly better than before.

My love for simple living and homemaking was deeply shaped by my grandparents. I have the best childhood memories of being in the kitchen with my Grandma Edna, learning the beauty of home-cooked meals and a well-tended home. My Grandpa Link’s storytelling and wisdom instilled in me the value of faith, family, and slowing down to listen during the little moments that make life rich. Their influence is woven into who I am today and I’m so grateful for that.

I’m a wife, a momma of 5, and a homemaker at heart. My husband and I met young, just days after my 18th birthday, and we quickly (like within a week) knew that forever was in our plans.

Together, we built our home on the edge of town, where we’re raising and homeschooling our children while embracing a simple, purposeful life in the city.

Here, you’ll find encouragement for your marriage, practical tips for homemaking, and inspiration to cultivate a home filled with faith and love. Whether you’re looking for a recipe, a fresh perspective, or just a place to feel understood, I hope you’ll stay awhile and explore.

Let’s pursue slightly better together!
