Turn a Used Wine Bottle into an Stylish, Mosquito-Repelling Torch
For about $5, Erik Anderson (of design firm Gerardot and Co.) figured out how to turn his used wine bottles into outdoor torches that would successfully—and stylishly—ward off mosquitos.
Here's what you'll need to push this together:
- An empty glass wine bottle with a neck 1" in diameter
- 1/2" wide teflon tape
- A copper top plate connected that's threaded for a 3/8"-16 thread rod
- A 1" split ring hanger that's threaded for a 3/8"-16 thread rod
- 1/2" x 3/8" copper coupling
- A 1/2" copper cap
- 2 hex nuts threaded for a 3/8"-16 thread rod
- 2 # 10 1" zinc-plated wooden screws (if you're mounting it to wood)
- A 3/8"-16 thread rod (I bet you knew this was coming)
- A tiki replacement wick
- Torch fuel that's specifically made for outdoor torches
