I once tried making candles on my own for my mom’s birthday. Well, it turned out pretty bad and I never tried making my own custom candles again but a good thing there’s the interwebs. I just noticed this great instructable that shows you how to make your own custom candles.
The author goes into detail on how to build the mold, something that I never did and why my candles turned out to look like large raindrops. Very good instructable indeed if it’s your first time making custom candles,

There’s probably still a lot of you using image slides. Instead of buying an image slide projector (which can be very costly), you could hack one up yourself using an IKEA lamp. The beauty of this project is that you can do it yourself using cheap lamps bought at IKEA, brilliant idea.

For those of you who live in cold climates, your pipes could burst from pipes expanding if they freeze. I’ve personally had to dealt with this kinda situation even in California.
Although proper insulation can prevent most of these bursting pipes, there’s a better solution, you can make a temperature controller couple with heat lines along your pipes to avoid pipes from freezing. Remember, this probably will be hard to do if you have a big house but for small house

Want to build a simple tree house for your kids? Here’s a great idea for making your life easier and also not hurting your tree, make a strap-on tree house that can literally be “strapped” to your tree.

dutch designers rogier martens and sam van veluw have sent in images of their latest work the ‘build it yourself treehouse’. the design is made of water resistant panels, straps and lashings, which can b

It’s true, you can go out there and buy a cheap halogen-based night light for about a buck at your local dollar store. But those things waste energy like there’s no tomorrow but if you have some time to kill, you might want to consider making your own LED night light such as the one featured here.
