This lamp is simple and easy to make. It requires few supplies, making it perfect for emergencies. Here's a list of what you will need:  Squat mason jar or bowl 100% cotton cord or lamp wick Craft knife Scissors Cork Nail and hammer Olive oil Water (optional) You can get a cork from a wine bottle or purchase a bag of craft corks from an arts and crafts shop. You can also use sheet of cork that's at least ¼ inches thick. Cut your cork horizontally using a craft knife. If you are using a flat, squat cork, you don't need to cut it. The cork will help keep your wick afloat. If you are using a sheet of cork, cut it into a small circle or square. It needs to be small enough to fit inside your jar, but large enough so that it won't sink under the weight of the wick. The hole needs to be wide enough for the wick to be able to slip through, but not so wide that the cork slides off when you hold the wick upside down. The wick should be no more than an inch (2.54 centimeters) above the hole. Hold the cork so that it is about two-thirds to three-fourths of the way up the side of the jar. Trim the wick down until the end touches the bottom of the jar. If you don't have a jar, you can use a pretty glass bowl instead. Olive oil is great to use, because it burns clean. It does not contain harmful chemicals, and it does not leave behind bad smells. If you want to save on oil, use one part water and one part oil. Try to float it as much in the center as you can. This will give the wick enough time to absorb the oil and make it easier to light.

summary: Gather your supplies. Find a piece of cork. Cut the cork so that it is flat on the bottom. Use a needle or a nail to poke a hole through center of cork. Pull your wick through the hole in the cork. Trim the wick down so that it can fit inside the jar. Fill the jar two-thirds to three-fourths of the way with olive oil. Place the cork on the oil. Wait 15 minutes before lighting the lamp.

Using your dominate hand, stick the inch of a pairing knife near the strawberry's stem at a 45 degree angle. Carve the knife around the stem in one direction and then repeat in the other direction. The core of the strawberry should come out on its own, leaving a small hollowed out area in the strawberry you will later fill with jello. Set the strawberries on a plate or tray with the cut side down. Place the plate or try aside while you prepare the chocolate. This allows any excess juice to drain from the chocolate. Measure your chocolate discs into a microwave-safe bowl. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat it on medium heat for one minute. Then, remove the bowl from the microwave and stir. Heat the bowl for an additional 15 seconds and then stir again. Continue heating your chocolate for 15 second intervals until it's all fully melted. Once your chocolate is melted, your strawberries should be drained. One by one, hand dip them in the chocolate-mixture tip first. Coat the strawberries completely in chocolate. Set the strawberries, cut-side down, on a baking tray covered in parchment paper after dipping them. Place a chocolate disc on the tip of each strawberry. The melted chocolate should hold the disc in place. When done, the discs help the strawberry shots stand upright. Freezing the strawberries helps the chocolate harden. While the strawberries are freezing, you can prepare your jello. The chocolate should be hardened by the time you're done with the jello.
summary: Hull your strawberries. Drain the juice. Melt one cup (240 mL) of the chocolate discs. Dip the strawberries in the chocolate. Balance a disc on the tip of the strawberries. Place the strawberries in the freezer.
