While my shoulder is out of whack I had to do something while not being able to play in soap, so I made an oil candle.....
...out of a salt {and pepper} shaker....using stuff around the house. while the wick will burn just fine burning right next to the lid, I instead wanted it a bit higher..so I disemboweled a pen and used part of it to place the wick a bit higher.
Its not very bright, but it will work for a soft light say on a bathtub...
The oil is common soybean oil and it pulls up thru the wick alot better than say olive oil...and it will burn for hours...this one has been burning just fine now for over 3 hrs...no smoke until I blow it out.
I'll be getting some metal tubing from Hobby Lobby next time I go to town and redo it, but I think it came out so cute
