These simple and great looking torches provide some useful decor to any table setting. They are also very easy to make.
I went to the local home improvement store and purchased a 1/2-inch by 8-inch copper tube that is sealed on one end, and a 1/2-inch by 1/4-inch reducer. I also needed a small pipe that would fit inside of the reducer. The smaller pipe needed to be cut down, so I measured the depth of the reducer and cut it with a piper cutter.
The wick is a smaller version and fits snug inside of the small pipe which I slid over it.
I then inserted the wick into the smaller end of the reducer. The smaller pipe rested inside.
Everything fit great, so I disassembled it and polished the copper with some steel wool.
I then decided to use some glass spaghetti sauce jars for the holders. Using some sand, I secured the tube inside of the jar. This will help prevent the torch from being knocked over.
I then added some citronella oil using a funnel. The tubes only need to be half full or the oil can spill out.
Now the assembled top and wick can be lowered into place.
I gave the wick a couple of minutes to absorb the oil and lit it with a lighter.
I also purchased a 1/2-inch cap that works great at extinguishing the flame and protects the tube from collecting rain water.
These torches would make a great addition to any porch or deck party.
