Steps to create tennis racket into mirror:
  1. Find a vintage tennis racket (ebay, thrift stores, and your parent's basement are all great places to look)
  2. Take a the racket to a glass shop and ask for a custom-cut beveled-edge mirror that fits inside the rim.
  3. Squeeze Liquid Nails Mirror Adhesive onto the back of the mirror. 
  4. Firmly press it onto the strings (be sure to protect your work surface with newspaper). Let the adhesive dry overnight before hanging your new tennis racket mirror from a nail.  
Well to me this sounds perfect. Special advise to kids or teens do it under the guidance of your parents and take their permission as well.
 

Candles made out of bottle caps

Can bottles caps turned into candles ? Yes
Candles
Steps to this
  1. Things required are few bottle caps, candle wick, wax and vessel/utensil.
  2. If you had lit a candle during some occasion the wax melts when it is lit (lol) the melted wax hardens after some time you can reuse it to make candle.
  3. Melt the wax in any old utensil and place the wick in the bottle cap.
  4. you can have a small hole at bottom and pass the wick and tie knot at the bottom or else you can wind it and just place it at the bottom and no need to prick a small hole
  5. Fill the wax into the bottle cap and let it cool for sometime 
  6. Ready to use.       
     Well Even I tried an interesting candle by feeling  candle wax into any empty calcium Sandoz plastic can. Later you have to cut out the plastic can. Beware do not lit the candle in the plastic can. Kids and teens do it under the supervision of your parents.
