Finding Usefulness Out Of Electric Wire Insulators

Jul 21

Hubs took these brown stuffs from his work. 

 These are ceramic insulators commonly found at power transmission lines. They hold and separate high voltage electric current running through the uninsulated high tension power lines. It protects the wires from dirt, water seepage and lightning.

 Did I say I love FREE and ODD stuffs? ^_^ What should I do with those?

 

  • can be a flower holder
  • can be additional display stuffs
  • can be use as candle holders. no worries for candle drips, the ceramics will not break or burn.
  • can be spray painted into different colors. will try that out later today.

      they’re as big as a regular soup bowl,perfect for an inch-diameter candle. once the ceramic suffer even a small chip, power companies disregard using them:)

  5. I like the idea of candle holder. I was thinking of an outside lamp but it would be too heavy to hang. Candle holder na lang.
