Keep the Bugs Off Your Food!

Pretty, practical and solves my outdoor dining problem!

Keep bugs off your food with these adorable lace tents

These little cuties are perfect when serving dinner outside or when you're cooking and dinner is waiting to be served.


Those darn pesky flies are buzzing around because the kids and the dogs are in and out all summer and the door is never closed.


Please visit the bold blue links for more information and the products I recommend. 




I found these on Amazon and this is a great idea! 


It looks like a cute little lace umbrella.

I've seen these before in many shapes and styles, I found my little cuties at CVS for $1.00. 


You can also find them on Amazon. 


I buy them all the time, they are so inexpensive you can replace them if needed. 


They also make great hostess gifts! 


Just tie a bow around them and bring them to your next outdoor party!

 I love that they come in several colors but for me...
white is the winner!

    Thanks for the heads-up! We are getting ready to go camping and a couple of those would definitely come in handy!

    Seriously?! I just made some of these for a party I was having and they were a PAIN to make. But it looks like these may be just to cover a plate. I needed them to cover a big tray...OK. I feel better. I didn't completely waste my time (although I am heading to CVS to get some of your covers TODAY. Lisa~

    Awesome idea. I don't think I have a CVS in my area...but i seen these at Dollar General for $1.50 each. A little more pricey. But I think I will pick one up to try.
    Thanks for sharing.

    We had a bunch of these years ago! I was just thinking of them this past weekend when we had a cookout for Fathers Day and the flies were so bad. I'll check at my CVS.. thanks for the tip.
    Thanks also for linking it up to my link party.

    These are perfect for picnics. You don't have to watch your food and you get to enjoy the outdoors without thinking about whether there is bugs in your food.
