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:
DIY - Ikea Rast Side Table Project In September 2008, I was looking for side tables for our bedroom. At the time we didn't even have a couch, so dropping a lot of money on bedside tables wasn't something that we could do. I was flipping through my September 2008 Style at Home Magazine and I came across a bedroom shot and in the corner of a page I spotted a bedside table that was PERFECT. They had made over the Ikea Rast tables, and although there weren't instructions on how to do the project, I decided to try my hand at recreating the tables myself. I got these.... and the bedside tables turned out like so.... STEP 1 // WHAT YOU BUY First you need to pick up an Ikea RAST table. STEP 2 // ASSEMBLY Assembled the table, except for the drawers. STEP 3 // PAINTING + STAINING[a] PAINTING THE DRAWERS - I primed the fronts of the doors and then painted them in Chantilly Lace by Benjamin Moore. Staining Part 2 - I did 2 coats of varnish after the stain had dried. Q: What is the quality like? Q: The drawers don't have rollers.
DIY Project: Reclaimed Wood Look Headboard - aka design 1.2K Flares1.2K Flares × Okay, so truly this is a super easy project. Like almost 1, 2, 3 easy. And it is a total cheat. It’s not reclaimed barn-board at all! The only prep work is to decide how big to make the headboard. You will need: palm sander OR sandpaper and some musclesstud finderpencillevelwood (We used twelve 1″x6″x8′ pieces of spruce and had Home Depot cut them all down to 5′ long.)2″ screws (flat-head)drillold ragMinwax stain in Special Walnut Step 1: Decide where to put your headboard. Step 2: Sand rough spots and edges off of the boards. Step 3: Starting at the bottom (@ baseboard or floor), screw the first board to the wall using the stud marks you made in Step 1. Step 4: In a well ventilated room, and perhaps wearing a mask (trust me, this stuff STINKS when wet!) Step 5: Make it look pretty! See, didn’t I tell you it was easy?! And it was inexpensive! The wood was $2.97 per 8 foot length. So for $46.50 (plus tax depending on where you live) - voila!!!! Any questions? PS.
stencil with freezer paper (harry potter tee) Yes, I am a nerd. I came up with a brilliant idea for a Harry Potter t-shirt and I couldn't resist. "Expecto Patronum!" However, you can make whatever kind of design you want with a freezer paper stencil. I learned about the joys of freezer paper back in my early college days. Basically, freezer paper is backed with a plastic coating that will stick to soft surfaces when ironed, but it peels off cleanly and easily. To make a sweet t-shirt you will need: paper & pencil a t-shirt an iron a piece of cardboard or poster board fabric paint & brush Start by drawing your design on some regular old paper. My design kept getting bigger, so I taped two sheets together. Next, place your design underneath a sheet of freezer paper and trace it neatly with a sharpie. The marker gives your lines greater width making it easier to cut them out and paint them in later. Now place a piece of cardboard under your freezer paper to protect your table while you cut. Important: Set these shapes aside.

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.
