DIY Solar-Powered Mason Jar LuminariesOne Good Thing by Jillee This is one of those ideas that seemed like a really simple one UNTIL I started working on it. It actually turned out to be a bit harder than I anticipated…but in the end I was very happy with the results. So I hope you will hang in with me while I attempt to show you how to make one of these fun mason jar luminaries. I’ve been wanting to do something like this all summer long. It was time to take action! The reason my seemingly simple project turned out to be more complicated than I anticipated centered around the fact that the size of the light was smaller than I anticipated and didn’t “fit” the mason jar opening. After searching and searching…I found a tip on The Happier Homemaker that at least got me pointed in the right direction. After a few different configurations…here is what I came up with. You’ll need 3 paper clips, and then you’ll want to shape them so they each end up like this. Then you’re going to use those paper clips to suspend and balance the light on the rim of the jar.

Building a Parabolic Solar Hot-Water Heater using 123D My first step was to do a calculation to figure out if my idea was crazy. I started with my goal: Make the solar equivalent of the hot-water tap on a coffee machine. How much power do I need? Lets say I want to fill up my mug with hot water in about 15 seconds. How big of a mirror is that? In most places, on a clear sunny day, there's about .8 kilowatts of sunlight per square meter. That was a lot bigger than I could make, but it gave me an idea of scale. Building a Rain Barrel » Nashveggie Vegan and Vegetarian in Nashville & Middle Tennessee If you have a garden or alot of plants then you know that you can use quite a bit of water keeping everything green, especially when there are days or weeks between rain showers. I have noticed rain barrels being sold at Whole Foods for $99 and thought the construction looked simple enough to do on my own and possibly at far less a price. So I undertook the task of doing just that. I picked up an empty barrel at a local farm store that once contained olives. It even had one olive left inside when I got it, I didn’t eat it as tempting as it was. Make sure you find a food grade barrel for this project, you don’t want unknown chemicals spread onto your garden or plants.

These are so easy to make, and they come out really beautiful. I made this one in a smaller size with tiny flowers for an ornament, but you can use a larger Styrofoam ball with bigger flowers to make a wedding pomander instead. Or…how about wedding pomanders, and then smaller ornaments to match, for wedding favors or bridesmaids’ gifts? I think that would be awesome. A Styrofoam ball. All you need to do is pop a flower blossom off of its stem: And then snip off the plastic backing, staying flush against the back of the flower: Make sure to keep the little plastic stamens in the center of the flower (this is the back view): Dip the end of the pin into a little glue (I like to use old medicine cups for this): And start pinning them to the Styrofoam ball. Just keep pinning…just keep pinning… And feel free to go pour yourself a Blue Moon.
