Bug-Repellent Candle DIY
This hack is great for creative teens who like to be scientific.

Light these as the bugs come out and enjoy a bug-free evening.
Experiment with different oils or add some food coloring to give your wax a little extra.
Drink Cooler and Bottle Opener Ties
A very simple idea, but truly a game changer during a party!
However, you might attach your bottle opener to the drink bucket.
Someone will always inevitably accidentally walk away with the opener or leave it in a bizarre spot.

Very important, thoughdo not freeze the balloons entirely if you plan on using them!
Or, see to it theyve all thawed if icy in any regard.
Present Bread in a Fresh Way

Do a few pieces per every couple of seats or one for each guest.
Either way, its a crowd-pleaser!
That way, theres a lower chance of any candle-related accidents.
