How to Make Emergency Candle At Home
Step 1:
Carefully make a hole in the middle of the lid with the nail. Make sure that the yarn can fit into the hole.
Step 2:
Make a hole in the center of the bottle cap as well.
Step 3:
Cut a thread a bit longer than the size of the jar.
Step 4:
Pass the yarn through the holes of the lid and metal cap.
Step 5:
Once the yarn is threaded, fill 1/4 of the jar with oil. Get the threaded yarn with the caps and hold onto the end while you place it on the jar. Make a knot on the end of the jar.
Step 6:
Hold the knot and gently rotate it until the thread is moistened. It is important that it is completely moistened otherwise the candle will not last long.
Step 7:
Light with a lighter. After the oil is used up you just have to fill it up again and it will work like new.
