DIY CANDLES MAKING
DIY tips for making a Lantern?
I want to make two matching lamps for a console table. Looking to save some cash I went to Target and bought two large black cylinder shaped candle holders that have a design cut out on them. They’re made of some sort of metal, or tin. Anyway, I want to make them into lanterns.I bought a kit that will allow me to attach a light bulb outlet at the bottom where the candle would go. I want to add a sheet of white paper to contrast with the black design on the latern. My question is, what kind of material can I use to line the inside of the cylinder that is heat resistant? Also, what watt bulb is best for these type of lanterns? I would hate to set my house on fire after so much hard work.
most items for those purposes are UL listed. that is the underwriters laboratories. which independently tests the safety of products. when it comes to fire or electricity, i think it is a bad idea to make it yourself, if you do, make sure you have good insurance and a fire extinguisher near by.
