A cosy heat source for dark days...
#savemoney
A creative idea to create a cozy heat source in dark days is this terra cotta tea light holder.
Admittedly, when I first heard about it, I also thought. YES, IT WILL. But because I loved it so much, I put it together anyway (which, by the way, isn't that difficult at all). So my surprise was no small thing when I noticed that it actually worked.
It won't heat up your entire space. But I now have 2 in my living space, one on the coffee table and one on the dining table, and it does make a difference. In the winter, when it's really cold, you'll undoubtedly need to warm up. but on days like today, it breaks the cold enough not to have to turn on heating.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
However, due to the air circulation between the 2 pots and the holes at the bottom (which are now at the top because the pots are rotated), heat is radiated.
HOW TO MAKE THIS NOW?
Well, very easy. You get 2 flower pots, one large and one small, a bowl and 3 cubes. Glue the cubes to the shell with special glue (see photo). Then you place the smallest pot on the cubes and glue it on as well. You put the larger pot over it and you can also glue it on, but I'll leave it loose on it. Personally, I find this easier to change the tea lights. You can also paint the flower pot, but then you need quite special paint, because they will get really warm though.
WHAT IS THE COST?
The set like the one below in the picture cost me 960 euros. The materials were purchased in Aveve (Belgium). You have tea lights in the Action for 4 euros (a bag of 75 candles that burn for 6 hours).
It's not a miracle solution, but all the little ones help. Furthermore, it looks nice and cozy. Finally, this is also a nice tip to make yourself as a gift for someone. so you are original, creative and save an expensive gift.

!!!!! Be very careful though.! Because there is little oxygen in the candles, there is a high risk of carbon monoxide poisoning due to incomplete combustion. You really need to have a window open. It sounds fun, but it can be really dangerous. And don't put the tea lights too close together, rather 1 block candle (in a glass).

Your thought “it will” also occurred to me. but: with the current gas prices, I think it's worth a try! I'm going to share it for you!

I also saw it come by a number of times and thought the same thing, but it does work. Nice how you immediately turned it into an autumn piece. So go see if I still have flower pots, very nice and original.

That's a great tip and it looks nice! And at that price, you certainly don't have to leave it.
