DIY tea candle lantern

[deeder]

not sure if this has been posed, thought id show y'all what I've used for years.
never had one burn the base, all materials were from other thing.

1 12oz sprite bottle (these seem to be wider for some reason)
3 paper fasteners
12-15'' of small chain (picture hanging wire can work too)
1 paperclip
some 550 cord

That's cool. I usually take along a couple of the battery operated LED tea candles they sell at world market. Especially in places where you can't have fires, it's nice to have a bit of flame to stare at.
