Thank you for this little project. My son and I made one each. It really inspired him and he was fascinated.
He is Autistic and it is very hard to engage him enough to stick with a project. We made mistakes through the process and overcame them. He had his unique lantern and I had a different one, based on the jars we had available.
He learnt about the 3 elements of flame, reflection , fire safety, and working through little hurdles to get the job done.
I asked him if he would like to go camping in the backyard to put his lantern to use. He said "Yep!" .
A great start to camping ang survival skills!
Thanks again!
That's so awesome!
That’s great! How’s it go?
Pretty good. Fergus liked the little fire pit we made and toasted marsh mellows. We stayed in the tent for a while with the lanterns, but he didn't want to sleep in there all night. I call that a success.
Only Jesus is better than family time
That's so awesome. Hope he enjoys his camping trip in back yard
🇺🇸🙋♀️🐴🍃That's cute and useful! You can also put sand in the bottom to make it more level and keep from getting too hot.
Indeed. Thank you for watching!
Great 👍 idea ! Thank you for sharing this sand bit ! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️
That little aluminum cup the candle was in helps prevent hot spots and the glass from breaking, so the sand is a good idea. Even better if you can find a jar that fits the candle without removing the cup.
@@WayPointSurvival that cutie and I bet u wife is like this it light bitty light lol 🤣
@@WayPointSurvival what I was trying to say was I bet your wife is liking that itty bitty light that you got there cute cute little light
Folding the book of matches was such a simple, yet effective way of turning this into a complete mini lantern kit. The whole concept is cheap as chips to make and genuinely functional.
Thank you so much and glad you liked it!
@@WayPointSurvival a small screw on stove would be handy for a quick cuppa🙄💙🏴💙🏴
Good idea!
Ian (and all), for an emerg. candle stove, I put one of those 4-footed roasting-chicken holders into the emergency safety auto packs I gave as gifts 3 Xmasses ago. For the candle holder (thought of glass baby food jars, but need adequate air circulation space - found most holders were too tall to adequately burn to heat water in a small container placed on the round stand top, and I was also concerned about breakage), I used sections of disposable aluminum muffin tins, cut into singles & sharp edges sealed with the high-heat aluminum tape. I later found tiny lower/ shorter ceramic fry-pans for condiments for a candle-holder. Better air-circ., they are more heat-proof, have the handle to remove the fry-pan+ candle, & are more durable, but, they are heavier and somewhat breakable. Maybe better for a vehicle emerg kit than a B.O.B.
Also added lighter, matches, mylar blankets, reflective velcroed strips with flashing replaceable cell-battery-operated red lights, alcohol-wipes, snacks, hand warmers, headlamp, reflective vest, etc. (whatever I could find/ afford at the time). As well, added a silicone square pot holder for a heat-proof base, all placed in a metal cookie tin to fit under the car seat. Must be high/ big enough to accommodate the chicken holder stand.
(My loved ones thought I was nuts. They research nothing, trusting "the experts"/ the system. My elderly father - who still has his valid professional Class 1 driver's licence at almost 88, took everything out, and refused to place anything under the front seats of their Ford truck, as it "interferes with heat flow", and "there's no room" in the glovebox or door holders. So, all of the vehicle emergency preps I gave them sit dispersed at home. SIGH. Gee, not like we get bitterly cold, heavy-snow winters here in Canada, where we routinely travel for hours over vast distances in the mountains between places. (sarcasm) 😥)
Noted some kit issues: the problem with the stainless steel roast-chicken holders is that, whilst they do provide a frame to hold a small pot and they do elevate the candle heat source holding it away from the base surface where it's placed, that lower basket isn't actually level. Could be fixed with strip wraps of the aluminum tape roll. Also, their feet are wide - good for stability, but space-taking, and the top ring is a bit slippery for a secure tiny pot hold (maybe scuff with sandpaper?). Plus, best to also have a silicone pot holder in each kit for base heat damage protection.
Advantages, I got most of these things at the Dollar Store - really important for us super-low income types. Plus, SOMETHING is better than nothing for preps. Not quite the same as this great portable candle-holder kit, but, good for a vehicle safety kit . For those who make this clever candle holder, there is also a folding camp stove frame by not Coleman - maybe "Colgan's"? that I bought at Walmart for 10 bucks Cdn. plus tax. You would have to 1st check that the babyfood jar fit well under the stand, with adequate air circulation for the candle to burn. The stand could also acommodate an alcohol fuel can, reducing CO risk
Slight tangent, but hope this helps some. Cheers & Be/ Stay Well!
@@kgrant3184 Put me on your Christmas list. Who doesn't want thoughtful, handcrafted survival gear for Christmas?!?
Surviving in the eastern Tennessee mountains, USA. 😎
I'm sure the girls are constantly amazed at the things their dad creates. Great job.
Thank you, my friend!
This is the most ' dad in the woods' goodness. 🤗
Definitely a good backup in case your flashlight goes for a dip and isnt as water resistant as they say it is. I'm a firm believer in "2 is 1 and 1 is none". Especially with backpacking stuff. A good technological type and a less technological type. Nice build!
Thank you for watching, glad you liked it!
I did the same thing with a minced garlic jar and my fish mouth spreader bottle hanger. Minced garlic jars are even more compact and the opening is bigger.
Good point, and thank you for the idea!
@@WayPointSurvival Class act on your part
Great idea but I am not cleaning the jar out. Who doesn't like the smell of roasted garlic! A manly candle smell.
@@gueto70 You will be alone in the woods lol...
I wonder if the glass gets too hot to handle to be careful with kids around. Doesn't the bale get hot too while carrying it at night?
Neat idea. Where I live, I get brief blackouts from time to time (45 mins to 3 hours, about 2-3 times a year) so I'm always looking for a good ideas for light. I have a couple of baby food jars and some tealights. This will be really handy!
Thank you for watching, glad you like the video!
There's Sterno 5 hour tea lights you can buy. I didn't know they could make one that little, last that long.
I collect oil lamps, and when the power is out because of snow, I'll have this place lit up like Christmas.
FYI, for those emergency moments, I saw a great vid on an aerosol can with top removed and compacted melted wax/wood shavings mix. I tried it, lasts pretty much all night. Nowhere as quick & simple as this but if you've got the time & inclination...
I've made several kinds of oil/shortening/wax lamps but I've never seen that trick of curving the wire handle so it nests neatly. That's super cool!
I'm going to try this out. I almost always keep glass jars from the grocery. They come in handy for so many things. I'm thinking garlic, yeast, smaller salsa, pesto, etc...
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video!
My favorite yogurt comes in glass jars. We've made candles with them from re-used wax, but I hadn't ventured into lanterns , yet...
James you knocked another one right out of the park! Another RUclips award winner. Thank you for sharing that totally handy dandy useful little but massive. Cheers to you! Wishing all the best for the new year! You finished 2021 with a bang!
Thank you so much, Happy New Year!
James, that is so cool.. with four kids I can't help but shake my head at the hundreds of missed opportunities I had to make these..!😂
Finally. A use for wire hangers!!
Right? Thank you for watching!
Cool idea. No drilling! Three of those candles should last plenty long enough for most backpacking trips.
Thanks!
True. Thank you for watching!
James, you have done it again. I'm going to make some of these asap. You always think outside of the box, that's why I watch you and recommend your channel to everyone. Home Run on this one!!!
Thank you so much! So glad that you enjoy the channel and I really appreciate you recommending it to others!
I swear on goodness gracious this man is a genius.
Thank you for watching!
Wowww, what a wonderful idea!👍
Thank you so much, my friend!
Felix auch hier!
Gesundes neues!
I'm a year late, but when Felix comments on your post that's saying something. 🎉
Indeed! He is a good friend of mine!
Cool idea ! I use tomato paste cans to make long burning candles that can handle being in a back pack .
Excellent!
Better than my little V8 juice can lantern. Thanks for the reflective tape idea. It gets pretty hot here in the summer and I have to separate the stored candles with a piece of coffee filter or something to keep them loose.
Great, glad you liked the video and thank you for watching!
Great project for me and the grandkids. They'll love it.
Thank you for watching!
James , nice tip , thanks for sharing , God bless
Thank you for watching!
That is a great idea to use indoors if the grid goes down and you want more direct light
True!
i just found these, what i like is he explains things well, and most of the stuff is very useful and stuff that could come in handy. I liked the portable shower
Great idea. I love candle lanterns. Gives you just enough lite.
Indeed. Thank you for watching.
I burn tea light candles almost every night. They provide a surprising amount of light, especially when burned in front of a mirror or other reflector. They also provide enough heat to be great for warming up your hands.
Great one!
I found a jar in "that drawer" that we all have (I think it was originally yeast) that perfectly fit tea-lights with the aluminium cup intact. Might be worth looking when next at the grocer's.
The only other difference to mine is that I put the foil tape on the inside.
Thanks for the reminder, I'll have to go make a few more.
Excellent, thank you for the info about the slightly larger sized glass jar.
….🌀We Call That ‘The Drunk Drawer’🌀….
In the kitchen I always called that the junk drawer
I turned my initial junk drawer into a junk bssket. Over time however, I began to have both a junk basket and a new junk drawer.
@@Cheeseburger.Launch.Sequence don't feel bad, I had a junk room. Started out as a playroom for my kids, they didn't like cleaning up their toys. After the hamsters died, I put a study desk in there to expand study locations. But odd furniture that didn't fit anywhere ended up in there, lamps, etc.
This is great! It also has the benefit of keeping your matches dry and tea candles work great as a firestarter if necessary
Very true!
I love these DIY projects. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Nice job. I fit 5 or 6 into an empty pill container and slip in a book of matches for packing. I have a small jar I use when burning the candle. I will use your hack for the handle and reflector. Thanks James.
Great! Glad you liked the video.
Pretty slick. A good project for the nephews
Thank you for watching.
Super cute !! Simple...I like that !! God bless!!
Really cool, and if you want to speed up the process of leveling the candle, you can just take your lighter, and heat up the bottom of the candle, right in the center, and it should melt right in place.👍
If you don't want to wait for the candle wax to melt😁 but loved the project, great job 👍
Clever little project!
Thank you!
Made in the 🇺🇸 USA That was honestly very nice 👌now I know what to make and use when someone needs to use the outhouse .Thank you .
Great. Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for watching!
What a great idea for gifting to my neighbors. Thanks Waypoint!!
Hello 👋 James, thank you for sharing this easy and clever hack. Stay safe out there..😊
Thanks, you too! Merry Christmas!
Another great DIY that's super easy and is practical for real!
Great. Thank you for watching!
MERRY CHRISTMAS brother and everyone else hi from Syracuse NY and thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures in camping and survival
Thank you for watching, and hope you all had a Merry Christmas and that you have a great and wonderful new year as well!
Great project! I used a hot glue gun to stick down the first tealight for a cleaner look, since I'm making them for gifts. I covered the lid with foil to hide the label, and added a small camping theme sticker.
What a good dude. Salt of the earth. God bless.
Thank you for watching and God bless you too!
I am amazed at your creative ingenuity. You never cease to amaze me. I guess that is why I love watching your informative videos.
Thank you so much!
So many totally awesome projects. You did it again! Thanks for another great idea!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the idea ,and of course the comment section added versions of your idea which were great to hear .
You're welcome. Thanks for watching and yes, I also enjoy reading the comments section!
Very cool little lantern. Thanks for sharing James. And thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome. I've been looking for a good use for all the baby food jars we save!
Nuts & bolts - screw the lids to the underside of a work bench or shelf... Unscrew the jars to access thm
Oh I love this idea! Thanks 👍🏼
Thank you for watching.
Brilliant! Something a lot of people don't think about is reusing things, like glass cars, for new purposes. Look at your all the stuff in your bug in/out bag/locations and think of things you can do with each item's individual components after it's original intended use has been exhausted. It's the ultimate recycling experience and can extend you self-sufficiency
Indeed. Thank you for watching!
To the tune of "Candle in the wind." "and it seems to me, that your micro lamp is a candle in a jar"
This is absolutely brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas. Thanks again for sharing another project with us. God bless and stay safe.
We did indeed. Thank you for watching.
This is a great idea. I can see it very useful if stranded in a car or truck in the winter.
Definitely!
Very good, very clear instruction.
Cool. Another project for me. 😄
I recently completed your Altoids candle lantern, alcohol burner and wood stove.
Much fun.
Excellent. Thank you for watching.
That is awesome!!! Thank you James for the demonstration now I'm gonna go make some few lanterns so my camp site will be pretty darn romantic. This is really useful, thanks again.
Thank you for watching and glad you liked it!
One day I’ll find someone that just wants to do stuff like this with me! So fun. :)
Thanks for keeping your RUclips short short and sweet to the point thanks again

Great video. Now I'll have a use for all of the baby food jars that my granddaughter will be going through soon.
Indeed. Thank you for watching!
Another great tip video brother.Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching.
Great idea, would have loved to see this hanging inside a dark tent to see how well it let the place.
You can buy these at the dollar store but without lids, I bought three.
Yes, it works quite well indoors and throws off an amazing amount of light for its size.
Buying an empty jar vs a jar with food in it.
A no brainer . . .
I'm late, but I wanted to add a useful trick.
~ If you take 2 pieces of tape and stick the two adhesive sides together. Making sure the piece that will face inward is slightly smaller in dimensions, so you create an adhesive border that can stick to the jar. You will end up with one reflective surface facing toward the light source. which should increase brightness.
Yes, you can certainly do that.
Great idea! It gives off a lot of light for such a small size. Thanks for sharing
It really does. Thank you for watching, my friend!
Great project!
Thank you!
Interesting!
Thank you !
I’m learning a lot of things from you!
Happy new year!
Thank you for watching, glad that you're enjoying the channel.
I think I will make some of these with my grandkids. This reminds me of stuff we did in Girls Scouts. What fun.
Great, thank you for watching!
James that IS awesome, what a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
That was awesome James, perfect for a small tent, tipi or other backcountry set ups. That is DEFINITELY going in my set up. I wonder how it would fit iny Stanley cook set...only one way to find out!!!
Indeed. Thank you for watching!
Another great video. I have a question, have you ever seen those reflective stickers that you can slap on bicycle rims and on your car and stuff etc? Like reflector pads/stickers I think they are called. I have always wanted to try putting those on the outside of this kind of jar lantern so the reflective side faces inward. Maybe something like that would provide an even brighter reflection than the aluminum tape thing. Finding a good way to fix it to the outside might be tricky though, because the sticky side will be facing away from the glass. If you can experiment with it and make a video of love to see what you come up with!
At the dollar store near me that have premade lanterns for tealights like this, which are quite larger but have a metal cup for the tea light suspended with wire in the inside near the middle of the jar, so it's raised up and spreads the light further. You maybe stick the reflective or aluminum stickers on the inside of the jar on one half with some super glue so it stays this way.
The metal wire cup works very simialir ti the handles you made here. Except it goes inside the jar and has a metal cup the size of a bottle lid that can hold a tea light
Thank you for the idea. Glad you like the video!
this is the cutest little lantern I have ever seen and is beginner friendly enough that I could actually make! thank you for sharing! I am feeling more prepared already
Thanks so much!
This is brilliant, well, 32 Lumens brilliant, but you know what I mean!
Thank you for sharing this excellent fabrication, I have 10 hour tealight candles which will fit.
I'll be the guy holding a tealight candle whilst closely examining every small glass jar of food in the supermarket...
Thats pretty cool. UCO used to make tea candle lenterns a few years ago. I think they discontinued them though.
Thank you for watching.
Interesting upcycle for small glass jars with lids. I would probably melt the wax into the jar and make a single larger candle out of it though.
Be careful with that, the jar might shatter or crack eventually. I think with the tealight it gives it some space to seperate and spread the heat around
@@pharaohsmagician8329 I wouldn't really worry about it if filled with wax, I would be more worried about thermal shock. The wax works as a sink for the heat and would provide a better gradient of heat from the top to the bottom. More wax means more heat capacity and more heat used to melt the wax, it will also cool down slower. I suppose it's possible though.
At the end of the day it really depends on the amount of heat the specific glass can handle and the type of wax/fuel used, since different waxes/paraffins/etc release differing amount of heat/energy when they burn.
You could probably do that, but as other people said you do need to be careful about the effect of the heat on the glass jar. However, I also don't think that it would be that great in general. But, do remember that the average candle flame generates 1,850° Fahrenheit of heat.
Cool project! Thanks for for demo on this lantern. You rock!
Thank you for watching!
Very cool; thanks for posting.
Thank you for watching!
Great idea, as usual. Going to store for some baby food. No don't have any kids at home, I want to make a lantern.
Lol. Thank you for watching!
Great idea , the beat part the tea candles are cheap , great for storms when the power is out
Indeed. Thank you for watching!
I love these little camp crafts!!! Great prepped craft idea too!
Thanks so much!
Love this idea...have to make some...thank you very much!
Thank you for watching!
This is what kids make in just about every primaryschool in Holland every year for mothersday. The kids paint the glasses with glasspaint. I have 4 of them 😊
Excellent. Thanks for watching!
I like the way it's cheap, simple but effective! Will look for a jar tonight. 😀
Excellent! Thanks for watching.
Another great idea thank you for sharing

Excellent, thank you for watching!
U make alot of things look really simple. That's how life was supposed to be. Thanku very much for videos
You're welcome!
Ok, I will make one because I carry T-Cup candles for light, and as a fire starter .
Good idea
Glad you liked it!
Neat ! Gonna make some
Great. Thanks for watching!
You made a poor mans candle for chillaxing in the basement, the tree fort, or smoking that. You did a great job as always keep up the good work
Thank you so much!
Very clever little light! I’m definitely going to make a few. Thanks!👍🏻
Great, thanks for watching!
James....great idea!!!! Thanks & take care!!!
Thank you for watching!
Wow I haven't saw these in a long time! I learned this in Cub Scouts over 35 years ago😁 I like the bend you put on the handle. These are very efficient lil lights. Y'all stay safe and God bless
Thank you so much, and God bless you too!
Another excellent video. Thanks a million!
Hi James, just want to say what a cracking little lantern, I'm well impressed. I have been toying with buying one of the UCO lanterns for a while now but after watching your video on the Micro Lantern,
I feel this is the way to go, I love it.
Many thanks for sharing James,
Atb, Paul.
Thank you so much for watching the video. I'm glad that you liked it and are finding it useful!
From Spain. Nice idea . I'ts simple but sometimes the simple things make our life interesting. Great job James.
Thank you for watching!
The tip about using WD-40 to remove the label was worth the price of admission. Never knew about that trick, thanks.
Thank you so much for watching and I'm glad that you liked the tip about the wd-40.
I have a few taller plastic jars from like horse radish and stuff. Pretty tough stuff and not breakable. Love this idea. Love an blessings from Ontario Canada!
Thank you for watching!
Plastic jars will melt
@@dianemyers250 With a tea light? Nahhh... Tea lights even come with little plastic cups as well as tin foil types.
