Greet your guests at your next party in a special way: a row of "garden torches" stands on a trellis! With the help of simple tea lights, you can put the right light on the way to the house or the entire garden.
Whether in a row as path lighting or individually standing as a light accent. Those little lights, that are operated with simple tea lights, are a great idea for your next garden party. Everything you need, are a hoot, a saw, a drill and a cutter knife. Plus a round of material for each lamp 130 cm long wooden stick with a cross section of 5 x 5 cm, a 20 x 24 cm piece of metal mesh, that you get in the model building supply, two about 10 cm long aluminum rods with a diameter of 4 mm and seven eyelets (Manufacturer Prym) along with the appropriate rivet gun. Weather-resistant tropical wood or pine wood, that you have to paint with a weather protection glaze, suitable for the wooden stick, driven into the ground with a hammer.
1 Das Aluminiumgitter wird mit einem Cuttermesser auf Maß zugeschnitten, an aluminum strip as a stop is helpful. The grid is then bent into shape using round wood.
2 Damit das Metallgitter nicht sofort wieder auseinanderschnellt, hold it together with a rubber band. The rivet eyelets can then be attached to both ends. With the eyelet pliers (for example from Prym, from the department store or hardware store) the hole is punched and the eyelet is riveted in one operation.
3 Da man die Position der Öse, holding the metal grid together in the middle, cannot reach with pliers, needs a small auxiliary construction. To do this, take the punching tool out of the pliers: The lower half is inserted into a small hole in the log (under the metal mesh, therefore not visible in the photo), the upper part is put on from the outside and the eyelet is hammered in.
