Bamboo tiki torches

Look at this photograph and I am sure that it will look wonderful and simply amazing to you. The mainstay I would say of these is the bamboo tiki torches and these tiki torches almost never cease to amaze each time I put them on in my backyard tiki bar.

Bamboo as a material will give your entire décor a very good feel and hence the reason that bamboo is used mainly on all the beach weddings.

As I mentioned in my earlier guide about tiki torches that I saw the tiki torches at my friends wedding but also I must mention that I saw some great other bamboo stuff and that was the bamboo wedding arches. And of course the whole wedding décor was sealed with some nice bamboo favors that we received.

More on that later and in fact I will suggest you a few good sites which have nice information on the bamboo arches and bamboo favors.

The best part is that you can get some great bamboo torches in the market that are available for as less as dollar six and more.

The bamboo torches working

These torches work on a simple principle that it basically has a sort of a candle holder on the top of the bamboo torch and that helps because then you can put a nice candle on top of the torch or you can place a nice torch wick with an oil canister below which will help in getting the necessary flame.

How to make a bamboo torch on your own

Well in a very simple manner here is what you will require and that some bamboo poles as well as the lighting part of it.

The first step is the bamboo poles and those bamboo poles that you need have to be at least 5 feet long. Then comes the next game and that is that you need to be able to make a recession at one end of the bamboo to hold the oil as well as the wick or the oil can canister.

Make sure that the hole is deep enough so that everything fits inside easily and only the flame is visible from outside.

The best ways to do that is to make sections out of the opening so that it gives a good effect and then make sure that you have a strong reed to go through the cuts so that fuel canister does not drop out.

Essentially we are making sure that canister is tightly held in the hole made for the canister.

Next to give the shape that is so essential make sure that you get a shape which is the best and that is the taper effect. Simply use a knife to have the taper effect.

The other way is to make sure that you have the carvings done on the tiki torch so that it is actually a tiki torch with all the stylish tiki carvings done on them. If you have a patio and you need to decorate them with tiki torches then make sure that you do not light them ever as that can be dangerous. As and update if you need to have a patio you may need to have some good patio umbrellas with some nice tiki designs on it.

Last but not the least make sure that either you put these tiki torches in the ground with one feet inside the ground or use the tiki brackets to make sure that you have the tiki torches attached to the bamboo poles or the wall or the railing.
