A liquor bottle with a unique shape can easily be turned into a funky, upcycled alternative to a traditional oil lantern. Excerpted from "DIY Life" by Danny Seo, here is a fast and easy tutorial for making your home shine with all the goodness of a DIY lantern using a Patrón bottle.
Materials and Tools:
-Empty Patrón bottle
-Cotton wick
-Metal washer
-Scissors
-Funnel
-Lamp oil
Step 1: Drop the Wick Inside the Bottle
Step 2: Remove Wick
Remove wick with washer and use a funnel to fill bottle with 3 inches of lamp oil.
Replace wick (make sure washer still rests on bottle). Let oil seep to wick's top before lighting. Never leave a flame unattended, and make sure wick stays 1/2 inch above the washer or it may become a fire hazard.
