Perhaps only the skillful and the daring would have the guts to make this DIY project on their own. Well, considering you have to deal with a hand grenade to make this one, it does produce something unique and cool in your home.

To make the hand grenade oil lamp, you just light up some Sugru, a soda can, wicker, lamp oil, a lighter and a dummy hand grenade that goes for about $8 to $10 online. Dangerous? Certainly but definitely something neat!

This beanbag has no filling inside, thus making it lighter and saves the manufacturer costs when shipping. This translates to savings for us consumers when we’re buying it too. Pay a little less, get the beanbag, fill it up ourselves. It’s great fun too, just a little messy though. I’d get this anytime over those ready made ones because half the fun would probably be in filling the bean bags itself.
