Elegant & Simple Lightbulb Oil Lamps
Purchase new or save up any number of clear light bulbs (clear is preferred). Disassemble them, removing the inner workings from the bulb. This is a very delicate process. Next, carefully rinse and glass dust from the inside of the bulb and allow it to air dry. Take the 'screw in' cap from the bulb and make a hole in the very tip, the spot where it touched the lamp to draw electricity. Remove just enough to fit 4-6 inches of wick in, and then cut a tiny slit right off the wick-hole. Pull the wick through the hole so around 1 1/2 ' are protruding from the screw cap; secure it in the slit you have cut.one end protruding from the bulb cap for lighting. Now you will fill the bulb not quite 2/3 full with clear lamp oil and replace the screw cap. Make sure that approximately 5 inches of the wick are submerged in the oil so it absorbs, assisting the lamp to main lit. Secure the top with a clear, thin layer of rubber cement; it peels away and makes refills easy. These bulbs will sit at a unique lean but will not tip! Keep the open flame away from fire hazards at all times, and put them out when you are not around.
