How To Make A Clementine Candle (Awesome!) Please Share This Page: Google + stumbleupon tumblr reddit How To Make A Clementine Candle (Awesome!) We found a great video by Apartment Therapy TV which you are sure to love! Clementines are a variety of a mandarin orange. A candle works by vaporizing the wax/oil and drawing it up the wick where it burns. After cutting, removing the fruit of the clementine, the white part is exposed. You can make this candle with other citrus fruits but clementines are ideally better because they are much easier to peel. You can also use these candles as decorations: You can beautify your house with these during Hallowe’en, the Christmas season or at any other time. If all else fails, you can also “cheat” by using tealights. Try making your own clementine candle at home and impress your friends with it! One last thing – please be VERY SAFE and diligently follow guidelines for candle safety. Okay, here is the video:

Halloween: how to make spider web balloons If you're planning a halloween party to remember, now's the time to get making props and decorations for the event. One of the coolest ideas I've seen is balloons filled with 'spider webs' (right), which makes for a really spooky effect. You'll need access to some helium, and ideally a substance like hi-float (buy it in the USA by clicking here) which will allow for the heaviness of the balloon's contents. But once you've collected these together, this is a really quick and easy project. What you'll need: - HI-FLOAT (US shoppers click here) - 11-inch clear latex balloons - Small rubber spiders Instructions - Inject a little less than the usual amount of Hi-float into an clear balloon and rub it around to coat the inside. - Put a small rubber spider inside the balloon. - Inflate the balloon to about 75% of the full-size with air. - Seal the balloon with a plastic disk or clip. - The next day remove the clip and deflate the balloon. - Slowly inflate the balloon with Helium or air.

34 DIY headboard ideas The headboard is now looked at as a mainly decorative element in our bedrooms. As it usually happens, it all started from a practical reason/purpose.The headboard, a piece of furniture that is attached to the head of the bed, was initially an element that isolated sleepers from drafts and cold. Back then the buildings were less insulated and thus such a feature was needed. The headboards were made of wood because it’s a material that’s less conductive than stone or brick for example. With time, this function has been lost and replaced by a purely aesthetical function. These 34 diy headboard ideas exposed here are not competing with each other, by the contrary these are the best projects we could find to show you, and all of them are equally interesting.

VIDEO: How To Make Fire… Using Ice! Please Share This Page: Google + stumbleupon tumblr reddit If you are a first-time visitor, please be sure to like us on Facebook and receive our exciting and innovative tutorials and info! Here’s one of the more unusual ways to make fire – explained with an actual demonstration! It’s been known since ancient times that the power of sunlight, focused into a concentrated beam, can raise temperatures high enough to start fire. The potential of the sun, when harnessed in this way, is immense: There is an old legend that Archimedes created a weapon that was used in 212 BC to burn Roman warships in a battle. In modern times, the typical method of using the sun to start fire, known by all, is the use of a magnifying glass. Depending on the size of the glass, more of the sun’s power can be harnessed – and I have even seen solar welding using a Fresnel lens a few feet in diameter! Ok, here’s the video – let us know what you think! ps.
