Since, I don’t like sitting idle, my mind keeps looking for
ideas to utilise my time in the best way.
Today, I have come up with a simple craft converting household items
& waste into useful output. This may sound child-like but never mind, I
wish to share with like-minded people.
Below I have listed the details of making a candle stand with household
items.
Time required: half-an hour
Ingredients: Waste glass bottle, pulses of different colours
for filling, ribbon for decoration.
Method:-
Step 1: Wash the waste glass bottle thoroughly to remove
label & dirt. Dry it properly both inside & outside. If the bottle remains dam the pulses may get
rotten inside :/ eww & you don’t want that.
Step 2: I have used 6 varieties of pulses namely, masoor & moong daal mixture(first layer
for beautiful coloured base, then green
gram, followed by Chana Daal, Kali daal & on top of the bottle filled few
large beans to close the neck. Make sure you leave the neck part half-an-inch
empty to insert the candle. You may use as many coloured pulses as you like.
Step 3: After filling the bottle tightly, decorate only the
neck part, with colourful ribbons. Make sure you don’t overdo as it may spoil
the look.
Step 4: Insert the candle to see if it fits in properly else
you can melt the base a little to tighten the grip. Make sure it doesn’t fall
off as it may lead to accidents.
That’s it your simple
& colour full candle stand is ready. Have fun & stay safe.
