MAKE A TERRACOTTA HEATER

Go potty for this cheap and easy way to heat a room

It’s an effective use of all those Ikea tealights, and creates enough heat to keep a room toasty (and energy bills down). You will need: 4 tealights Metal loaf tin Matches or a lighter 2 bricks Cooling rack 2 terracotta flower pots: one should fit inside the other, with about 2cm of space between the two Small piece of foil

1 Put the tealights in the loaf pan and light. Place a brick on either side and place the rack on top.

2 Put the smaller of the two flower pots upside down on the rack, directly over the candles.

3 Cover the hole in the bottom of the plant pot with foil. 4 Place the larger pot over the first. 5 When the candles go out, you can slide out the pan to relight or replace.

Note: It heats up quickly and will be too hot to touch after about half an hour, so keep kids and pets away.
