DIY Camp Oil Lamp

Make your own OIL LAMP on your camping trip, for a log cabin wild feeling or great simple DIY project for kids!

*Glass or any other holder, if it's transparent you've hit the spot!

*natural rope or cloth (1" wide, 4" long, rolled to get a 4" long tube) or rolled cotton pad (ideally at least 3" long)

*piece of wood or any floatable stuff (like bottle cap, ...)

*oil or any slow volatile fuel

*tools: knife or scissors

Make a hole into the floater. Knife, scissors, drill - anything goes.

Put the self made wick through.

Pour in the fuel and submerge the wick. Watch out not to submerge it totally, since it burn too hard.

Well .. you need an open flame source :)

Put the lid over and cut the O2 supply and the light will "turn itself off".
Enjoy making it.

Simple and great DIY kids project!
