A DIY-SAVVY homeowner has revealed how she warms each room of her house without using radiators.<\/p>\n
She demonstrated the must-try hack using a selection of items most people already own.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Posting under the handle @queenscurlz on TikTok, the woman revealed how she keeps her home warm without raising her energy bills.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is what you need this winter,\u201d the text over the video read.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She showed a tray containing three tealight candles in terracotta pots as she began to list other items needed for the hack.<\/p>\n
\u201cTerracotta pots, tea lights, bolts and washers,\u201d the text continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cWire and a jump rope handle – safe lid.\u201d<\/p>\n
She covered the candles with a larger terracotta pot that had a handle attached and claimed the homemade gadget would warm up a room in just 15 minutes.<\/p>\n
She captioned the post: \u201cThis is the best DIY this winter! Easy to make and keeps warm with no added radiators.<\/p>\n
\u201cMake it and tag me in your creations! Share with everyone so we all stay warm this winter.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/picture>FLING SHAME <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>BUGGED OUT <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>ROYAL RACE ROW <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>FREED FROM HELL <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The video went viral with over 45,000 views and thousands of likes from people who were grateful for the money-saving tip.<\/p>\n She advised anyone who wants to heat up a big room to make more than one of the gadgets.<\/p>\n Commenters were amazed by the hack and said they were eager to try it for themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThis is the best one I\u2019ve seen yet! Well done!\u201d one person quipped.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThank you!! Now I can stay warm,\u201d another said.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve seen quite a few of these and yours is the most attractive and functional. I am still fearful of having this indoors. Successful all winter?\u201d a third penned.<\/p>\n \u201cThank you so much for your kind words! We have it running indoors as much as possible right now. Having a strong base underneath is key,\u201d the TikToker replied.<\/p>\n \u201cHow do the candles not turn off if there are no holes up top? I need to try this, I heard it\u2019s going to be bad again during Xmas,\u201d another wrote.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is enough air and instead they warm up the terracotta which then holds onto the heat. In bigger rooms you will need more than one,\u201d the TikToker responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n The advice comes after another homeowner revealed how a budget buy helps them to avoid pesky drafts.<\/p>\n The Cosy Club (@the.cosyclub) shared the hack with their over 12,000 followers on TikTok.<\/p>\n \u201cSo much heat escapes through drafts in the windows,\u201d the text over the video read.<\/p>\n \u201cUse window draft blockers on the edges of your windows.<\/p>\n \u201cThey are cheap and easy to buy.\u201d<\/p>\n A woman showed the process of applying a strip of draft blocker around the edges of her windows to block any gaps.<\/p>\n A similar foam tape that helps to insulate windows is available to purchase on Amazon for just $13.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cStop drafts from ruining your winter! Energy prices are crazy, but we will keep you cozy,\u201d she added.<\/p>\nActor still regrets affair with Amanda Holden after it wrecked her marriage<\/h3>\n
