This is such a neat idea to use up old sweaters that might not fit anymore or have some kind of damage on them somewhere. Be super warm.

Having Lights In A Power Outage

There are so many ways to have lights off-grid or during a power outage. One of my favorites is to use kerosene lamps. I have so many of them. Plus I inherited a few from my dad. This was one that he had sitting in his living room! Still sitting there and I use it a lot. He made this one out of a Mason jar. He just used one of these Oil LAMP Burner kit that just screws onto the Mason jar. Super easy way to have a kerosene lamp.

Unpaper Towel DIY (They Are Reuseable!) - A Beautiful Mess The last time I went to the grocery store the paper towels were in low supply. I have a bunch stocked up, but it will run out eventually - so I am going to make some more of these!!

Keep Warm Without Power

Luckily I live in a small house. Just a hair over being a tiny. I have one of these set ups sitting on my coffee table in my living room. Over the archway to the kitchen I have curtains so I can close it off to keep the heat in the living room and light this flower Clay Pot radiant heater. There is actually heat coming off of this. Most likely would not HEAT the room , but it is enough warmth to keep from freezing and keeps my electric heater from kicking on and staying on. Right now I am just using these Tea Light Candles , But I am in the process of making some mason jar Crisco candles. They will burn longer and hopefully make a bit more heat. Want to have one for my bathroom and utility room. Would really help in an emergency.
