A life after the tealight: make oil lamp
This is a tip from my daughter:
If you use tea lights as we often do, eventually the small pods will be left. Why throw away?
From this we make an oil lamp
That is how it goes:
Two empty pods are needed for a lamp
One stays as it is - just a little oil (sunflower oil)
At the second a cut in the edge to the bottom of the sleeve and a small hole in the middle. Now you put a wick (about 1.5 cm long) for oil lamps (craft business) in there.
Turn the whole thing upside down in the first (now oil-filled sleeve).
Finished.
Wait a moment, the wick absorbs the oil, light it.
This is a new oil lamp made of material that is usually thrown away.
