A Glass of Tea --lights

I have glasses collecting dust over the shelves. Never been used because they're too beautiful to be held by clumsy hands like my brothers and sisters.

Same thing going on with you? Well, why not repurpose these glasses to tealight containers.

This is a simple DIY project. Place tealight in the glass. You can even add a bit of water so the tealights float. And you are done! No mess, no trouble. Just dainty lighting.

By the way, don't forget, we are dealing with fire here. Never leave them unattended even if the glasses contain water. Better safe than sorry.

Then, enjoy.

DIY | Shelves

You only need:

planks
hooks (in pairs)
strings

Twerking is much difficult than this project so I bet you can do this and put Miley to shame.

Screw in two hooks on the wall. The gap between hook 1 and 2 is based on the length of your plank. Tie the end of the string with its other end and hook it on the first. String's length depends on how high you want the shelf to be. Tie another string and do the same on hook 2. Remember in screwing in the hooks, give it half an inch or so from the edge so as the plank wont slip.

Now you have hanging loops. Slide in the plank into the loops and you have a shelf good for a handful of books and other knickknacks. Do the same thing all over again for more shelf space. Once you get the hang of this DIY, you'd be able to rearrange and even add more shelf space.

I don't know what twerking has to do with this project but this is better than shaking whachamothergaveya. But I bet, after doing this project, you'd still be dancing.

Remember, a pop of cray wouldn't hurt! Have a great day!
