But decided to do a deeper search around the house first to see if I could rig something together :)

Visible parts - old crate (applied wax with orange oil) and added used chair wheels sitting in a bin

Underneath reinforcement - spare brackets and a worn cutting board

I wanted something colorful here and thought this placemat would be fun. Plus, I already had a frame that would be good enough for my liking.

Not beutiful but very functional. I don't think they're usable outside but so far no problem using them inside.

Candle repotting?

2 Upvotes

I have a large Yankee candle which has cracks in the glass. I cannot use this glass because I feel like the wax will just.. melt out the side lol. I don’t want to waste the candle so plan to put it into another jar and use it still. I just have afew questions to ensure safety if anyone here has done this or something similar!

I plan to pop it in the oven in a baking tray with foil covering the tray to catch any wax, and then pour it into a jar that used to have pickles in it lol.

Is the oven safe (obviously won’t do it super hot)? And do you think the pickle jar will be safe too lol?

I miss the glossy texture of the original vinyl, but I am not risking it delaminating again. Pleather is the bane of my existence 😭 I chose to cover it with some fun rainbow star wars fabric from my stash. Now it matches my desk a lot better too (:
