Preparedness #3

We had a CRAZY storm blow through one day and, although our power only flickered, several in our area were with out power for 24-36 hours. How scary. We have a few flash lights, though who knows where they are at any given time, and if they have battery power left. So for Family Home Evening we decided to work on some light kits. I found the idea on pinterest (where else?!). Each jar has 3 candles and a box of matches, but the cool thing is that in each lid there is a piece of PVC pipe, that will act as a candle holder. Sorry, I should have taken a picture!




We made six, one for each room if we needed it for any long period of time. Fortunately, I found everything at the dollar tree, so the whole project cost less than $6. The kids had fun helping assemble them and they are hoping the power goes out soon!
