Garden snail shell candle
What you need :
empty garden snail shell. I found alot of empty shells. I wonder if they go to die there or someone dump them.
threads from a lace
used sunflower oil.
aluminum foil used in tealight candles.
The used sunflower oil will burn for about 45 minutes. For a candle wick i used only the inner threads that was inside a lace !
You can now use it for sterilize a tool with the candle heat.
Attention :
If you use just the lace without the inner threads, a thin black smoke begun to rise. That develop soot and will land somewhere where you live.
Watch out for spillage, don't leave any fires unattended and put the shell on a dish.
You can hold it with your fingers, but it will get hot on some places near the the shell margin.
