Equipment

  • Scissors

Materials

  • Empty wine bottles
  • Wine bottle torch kit
  • Tiki torch fuel with citronella oil

Instructions

  • Clean the wine bottles and remove labels.
  • Place rubber washers on one side the brass wick holders to fit the bottle snugly.
  • Place the wick inside the holder.
  • Fill the bottle with torch fuel close to the top about 3/4 of the way, leaving room for the wick as it will displace some of the fuel.
  • Measure the correct length to fit the bottle and trim about 1/4- 1/2 inch from the top of the brass holder.
  • Press in the wick holder with the wick into the mouth of the bottle and make sure it fits tightly.
  • Wait for 1 hour to let the wick fill with the fuel.
  • Set the tiki torch somewhere away from anything flammable.

Notes

You may want to add a few drops of fuel directly to the top of the wick.
Wait about 30 minutes for the wick to fill with oil before lighting.
