Wine drinking help required

[Forgeways]

Hi all,

Jayne and myself are going to run a quick and simple recycled beeswax tea light making event at the Bushmoot this year, with the intention of holding a lantern making competition and judging at the communal meal. However I recon I need to be taking materials to make 200 tea lights, now beeswax from my hives and wick material is all good, but I am tee total and need a quantity of screw wine bottle caps. Can anyone help as poor Jayne wont be sober till August if she needs to drink 200 bottles of wine.

Regards, Neil.

Not being Teetotal I think that I may be able to help you out ... I will start collecting screw top wine and whisky caps for you
Do you only need 200?

Good man John! That made me smile.

If it's just containers that are needed, the contents of these could be used in other containers.

I've also seen them in thrift shops at 2p each or less sometimes.

As above
You can pick up packs of 100 tealights for £2 in plenty of places. The wax in them pops out really easily and can be used elsewhere. I melt them down and mix with Vaseline. If you dip in a cotton wool pad when melted, then leave to dry on some greaseproof paper, they make superb sure fire starting pads.
And you still have the original containers to use with the beeswax
