Hello everyone ✨

Radiance and Luminescence is quite an epic title for this piece. The motivation to make this home decor was inspired by the little candle I had laying around.

Sometime last year, I bought a candle as we had a power outage and I urgently needed to read some books. My aim was futile as I didn't get to use the candle. With the candle and the waste plastic bottles in sight, I decided to make this home decor.

Procedure

Making this was fun all the way. I started by gathering all my materials to ensure that I didn't lack anything.

I used a big bottle and a smaller bottle. The big bottle was used for the top and the smaller bottle was used beneath. I cut the big bottle into three and settled for the topmost part that had a cover. I used scissors to make the triangular patterns.

For the bottom part of this piece, I used the bottom part of the smaller bottle. I made a little opening where I would insert my candle afterwards.

After making the necessary patterns and adjustment, I started colouring. The upper part was painted red and the lower part was a mixture of brown and yellow. You may be wondering why I went through the stress of using acrylic paints instead of my regular spray paint? Well, spray paints are highly flammable and at some point, I was working with fire.

After painting, I left the parts to dry before adding my glitters. I like the way the glitters were shimmering under the sun.

From here, I made a little hole in the cover to insert a threadlike handle.

After inserting the handle, I went ahead to add my mini candle inside. I joined the top and bottom parts together with an adhesive gum. With that, I was pretty much done with my craft.

I had to search for a dark corner to take the perfect picture.

With a dark corner in sight, I lit my candle and went ahead to take pictures. This little lamp came out looking really spectacular.

This decoration can be used at home at different corners. It gives a homely feel to a room. I would patiently wait for the night to light my candle again.

This was a great use of waste bottles. I think this came out beautifully, what do you think?

Hola a todos ✨

Radiance and Luminescence es un título bastante épico para esta pieza. La motivación para hacer esta decoración del hogar se inspiró en la pequeña vela que tenía por ahí.

Editado en canva

En algún momento del año pasado, compré una vela porque tuvimos un apagón y necesitaba urgentemente leer algunos libros. Mi objetivo fue inútil, ya que no llegué a utilizar la vela. Con la vela y las botellas de plástico de desecho a la vista, decidí hacer esta decoración casera.

Materiales

Para esta pieza, he utilizado

  • Botellas de plástico
  • Colores
  • Cutter
  • Tijeras
  • Regla
  • Purpurina
  • Vela
  • Encendedor o cerillas
  • Chicle

Procedimiento

Hacer esto fue divertido en todo momento. Empecé por reunir todos mis materiales para asegurarme de que no me faltaba nada.

Utilicé una botella grande y otra más pequeña. La botella grande se utilizó para la parte superior y la pequeña para la inferior. Corté la botella grande en tres y me decidí por la parte superior que tenía una tapa. Utilicé unas tijeras para hacer los patrones triangulares.

Para la parte inferior de esta pieza, utilicé la parte inferior de la botella más pequeña. Hice una pequeña abertura por donde introduciría después la vela.

Después de hacer los patrones y ajustes necesarios, empecé a colorear. La parte superior la pinté de rojo y la inferior con una mezcla de marrón y amarillo. Quizá te preguntes por qué me he tomado la molestia de utilizar pinturas acrílicas en lugar de mi pintura en espray habitual. Bueno, las pinturas en spray son muy inflamables y, en algún momento, estuve trabajando con fuego.

Después de pintar las piezas, las dejé secar antes de añadirles las purpurinas. Me gustó cómo brillaban las purpurinas bajo el sol.

A partir de aquí, hice un pequeño agujero en la tapa para insertar un asa en forma de rosca.

Después de insertar el asa, seguí adelante para añadir mi mini vela en el interior. Uní las partes superior e inferior con una goma adhesiva. Con esto, prácticamente había terminado mi manualidad.

Tuve que buscar un rincón oscuro para hacer la foto perfecta.

Con un rincón oscuro a la vista, encendí mi vela y me dispuse a hacer fotos. Esta lamparita quedó realmente espectacular.

Esta decoración se puede utilizar en casa en diferentes rincones. Da un toque hogareño a la habitación. Yo esperaría pacientemente a que llegara la noche para volver a encender mi vela.

Fue un gran uso de las botellas de desecho. Creo que ha quedado muy bien, ¿qué te parece?

Isn't it going to melt given that it is plastic? like when the candle finishes with no one is watching?

I admire your creative, good job!

I would be very cautious with it as I wouldn't want the wax to burn off the plastic.

I admire your creative, good job!

Thank you so much ✨

Lol at this point I'm not surprised anymore. You radiate creativity.
This actually looks easy and nice at the same time, just about anyone can do it.

I see you've been doing a lot of creative stuff lately especially with spray paint.
