How to Make Your Own Wonderfully Scented Mason Jar Oil Candle

Mason jars are so versatile. Here is an easy Do It Yourself project, including the
supplies you’ll need, step by step instructions, oodles of images and use ideas on
making your own Mason Jar Oil Candles. They are beautiful to look at and your
home will smell wonderful, too. Best of all, they’re cheap and easy to make with
recycled and reused items

You will need the following materials:

hammer + Nail

1 glass or heavy plastic bottle with metal screw-on lid

1 bottle of paraffin oil, olive oil ,almond oil or any clean burning unscented oil

1 100% cotton wick **It's important that it be all cotton. If there is polyester or
anything else in it, it may produce unhealthy fumes when it burns.

1 pair of scissors

1. put decorative items in clean jar, arrange items until you get the look you want

pinecones, pineneedles, stones, crystals , cranberries Evergreen trimmings, Berries,

Holly Misletoe seed pods twigs/ sticks etc

2. Unscrew the lid (this should be metal) and poke a hole in the top using the
hammer and nail (or screwdriver).

3. fill jar w/ unscented paraffin oil Soak wick in oil before inserting

-To make the wick, place your fabric strip or string into the bowl. Natural fabric or
string works best, otherwise your wick may smell and not burn as well. Pour in just
enough olive oil to saturate the strip. Once it is thoroughly soaked, take out the
strip and place it on the paper towel; squeeze out any excess oil to prevent
dripping.
4. drill hole in top of flat cap lid same diameter as wick holder insert

thread fiberglass wick through wick holder insert

5. place the wick (& wick holder insert) in the lid hole & put the lid on the jar
making sure the wick hangs in the center of the jar

6. screw lid ring on jar tight

Ghivece ciment

Ingredients: Cement (it's the glue that binds the other ingredients), Vermiculite
(you can use sand instead, but the planters become very heavy), Peat moss,
pearlite, gravel or rock (add for fun!)

Materials and Tools: Gloves, Apron, Food containers, Plastic Bucket, Succulents,
Shovel, 3 - 9 x 12 pieces of sheet metal or plexiglass. (Approximate 9 x 12. Just an
easy size to work with.), Needle nose pliers, Scissors, Sand paper, Drill

Instructions

The ratio is one to four. One part cement and 4 parts anything else. To make six
different sizes of planters shown here, we used 4 cups white portland cement and
16 cups vermiculite.

Collect recycled food packaging for molds. Pay attention to unusual shapes. Wash
them and spread out to find proportional molds. For instance, a cottage cheese
container in an ice cream container works well. Combine the dry cement mixture
in a plastic bucket using one part cement, and 4 parts vermiculite. Use gloves when
mixing.

Slowly add water as if you were making dough, being sure to add the last part of
water slowly. Humidity can affect how much water you need. It should be the
consistancy of peanut butter. (It looked too dry to me but you will be suprised.)
The mixture should clump in your fist and hold its shape. We used a drill to mix
the materials but a shovel will work if you don't have one. Be sure to wash it
immediately after mixing. Transfer mixture to one of your recycled containers. Tap
the container on your work space to make sure it settles in until the top is flat and
even.
Push a smaller container into the larger one. Remove the displaced cement mixture
and put it back in your bucket. I like to put it in off center to give it that cool
modern look. Place the sheet metal on top and flip it over. Move the container back
and forth to get the top nice and flat. Leave to dry for at least 24 hours

To remove the molds, tear off the outside mold if it is paper or use a knife to cut
off plastic molds. Pull out the inside mold with pliers. Sand the edges smooth. To
create drainage, drill holes in bottom. Let dry for at least two days before drilling.
Plant a succulent!

Cement Planter

1) Concrete or cement (and sand),

2) Primary Containers (bottom half of plastic bottles or jars),

3) Cardboard - to make the secondary containers,

4) Rubber gloves,

5) Bucket or anything to mix concrete,

6) A stick to mix the concrete.

7) Scissor, anti-cutter and pen,

8) Brown scotch tape.

You have to collect plastic bottles or jars with patterns on them. Cut off the bottom
half (or as much as you want) of the plastic bottle or jar with an anti-cutter.

It's easy to collect the primary containers, but it's quite hard to find the secondary
(inner) containers to make concrete planters. So I've thought of using cardboard to
make the inner containers. They're easy to make, easy to use and work out fine.

Place the cut-off plastic bottle or jar upside down on a piece of cardboard and trace
around the edge of it's circle using a pen. Draw another smaller circle inside the
first one and draw some stripes around it (see picture). Cut it out of the cardboard
using a scissor.
Now measure the length of the cut-off plastic bottle and cut a long strip (half an
inch shorter than the cut-off plastic bottle's length) out of the cardboard.

Now, simply wrap the long strip around the first cardboard cutout and use brown
scotch tape while and after wrapping it. Use brown scotch tape to wrap the bottom
of the cardboard container as well.

*The cardboard inner container should be half an inch shorter than the primary
container.

Be sure to wear rubber gloves before you start mixing the concrete. All you need to
do is simply mix the concrete with water. Don't add too much water and try
keeping the mixture thick. Less water means more strength and less time to dry.

I added too much water at first, so I had to add more concrete to make the mixture
thick.

If your using white cement: You'll need sand, white cement and water to make the
cement mixture.

Measure 1 part cement and 3 parts sand. Mix them very well. Firstly, pour a small
amount of water into the mixture (sand and white cement) and mix them well with
the water.

Now, pour more water if the cement mixture is too thick. Make sure the mixture
isn't too thick nor too thin.

Now that you have the cement/concrete mixed start filling the primary containers
with them. Don't fill the primary container fully, keep space for the secondary
container.

After filling 2/3 of the primary container, put the secondary container right in the
middle of it and push it in gently.

Place something heavy on top of it or else the secondary container will be pressed
up.

Allow the cement/concrete mixture to dry overnight. It's better if you let them dry
for at least 24 hours.
When they're done drying, carefully remove the containers. The secondary
container can be removed easily but you'll have to work hard and carefully with the
primary container. The primary container (main mould) won't come out easily.
You'll have to use a scissor or anti-cutter to cut the primary container. First take off
the secondary container and then the primary container.

You can keep the planters empty or fill them with plants of your choice. Use plants
that require less water, too much water might ruin the planters.

Concrete Wall Planters

pourable concrete mix, such as Quikrete 3000lb (used here) or 5000lb.

cardboard or thick card stock for making the molds

template for the molds, formatted for 8.5″x11″ – download template (if you have
trouble, , might be a browser issue, please ask friends to download and email to
you! it works , thousands of downloads already)

plastic containers to mix concrete, plastic bags for curing concrete

box cutter or scissors, glue and tape for the molds

gloves, dust mask

Print and cut out the template , trace onto cardboard, and cut out the inner and
outer molds for the number of concrete planters you plan to make. The template for
the outer mold on page 2 is larger than 8.5″x11″, so rotate it when you trace to
complete the shape. Score, fold and tape each mold with scotch tape or masking
tape. Fold 3/8″ wide strips of cardboard into triangular shapes and glue them to the
inside bottom of the outer molds. These will function as drain holes and openings
for hanging later.

Screen those really big chunks of aggregates out of the Quikrete 3000lb mix- a
plastic nursery pot works great, and leave some small aggregates for strength. Mix
the concrete following the proportions recommended on the bag, using the
screened concrete as if it is the original mix. Wear dust mask and gloves when
working with concrete.
Pour the mix into the outer mold till it’s level with the triangular pieces, then place
the inner mold inside, making sure it is centered. Pour the walls using a Popsicle
stick to help pushing the mixture down. apieceofrainbow9-38Wapieceofrainbow9-
36W apieceofrainbow9-37WStep 3:

Let the concrete planters stay in the molds and cure for at least 3 days by misting
them daily and wrapping them in plastic bags. This is a very important step to
ensure that the concrete hardens as much as possible so they don’t chip or break.
The more moisture you can keep in the plastic bag the better.

After day 3, take the concrete planters out of the molds. Since concrete is very
alkaline and that can be a set back for plant growth, soak them in a tub of water for
a day and let dry. I decided to paint the edges with gold acrylic paint for an added
sense of mystery. apieceofrainbow9-39Wapieceofrainbow9-
14Wapieceofrainbow9-20Wapieceofrainbow9-21WNow we are ready to plant.
Succulents are great because they are easy to care for. Give the plants a couple of
weeks to form roots that hold the soil in, and now we can hang or stack these
planters to create our own mini vertical gardens! To create a pattern on the wall,
use the template to mark where the 3 openings on the bottom of each planter are,
and use 1 or 2 nail / screw for each planter depending on the pattern you want to
create.

A few tips on maintenance: each week take these concrete planters out and water
them thoroughly, let them get some sun and fresh air. The best way is to make
twice as many and rotate them so they get to spend half the time outdoors or by a
sunny window.
