Ever thought of combining warmth and aesthetics in a single DIY project? This terracotta pot heater and lamp serves as both a decorative light and a simple heat source. Perfect for chilly evenings, this project uses earthen pots and oil lamps to create a radiant glow while gently warming the surroundings.

1. Terracotta Pots – One large and one small (for heat trapping).
2. Terracotta Plates – One for the base and another to hold oil lamps.
3. Oil Lamps (Diyas) – Small clay lamps with wicks and oil for flame.
4. Threaded Rod, Nuts & Washers – To secure the pot in position.
5. Drill Machine – For making a hole in the pots if needed.

Before starting the assembly, it's essential to arrange all the materials properly. This ensures smooth workflow and prevents interruptions.

1. Terracotta Pot (Inverted) – This will act as the heat chamber.
2. Terracotta Plate – Base for holding the oil lamps or candles.
3. Another Terracotta Plate or Bowl – Used for stability and aesthetics.
4. Drill Machine – To make holes in the terracotta pot and plate.
5. Masonry Drill Bits (6-8mm) – Specially designed for drilling through terracotta.
6. Threaded Rod (Approx. 8-10mm thick) – For connecting the terracotta components.
7. Nuts & Washers (Matching the Threaded Rod) – To secure the terracotta pot in place.

1. Place the inverted terracotta pot on a stable surface.
2. Mark the exact center of the base (now the top) where the hole is needed.
3. Apply light pressure and start drilling at low speed.
4. Keep spraying water on the drill bit to prevent overheating and reduce dust.

1. Mark the exact center where the hole needs to be drilled.
2. Attach a masonry drill bit (6-8mm) to the drill.
3. Once the drill penetrates through, reduce speed to avoid chipping.
4. Gently pull the drill out and inspect the hole.

1. Insert a threaded metal rod through the center hole of the terracotta plate.
2. Secure it with a nut and washer underneath so it stands firmly.

1. Take a small terracotta pot and drill a hole in the center (if not pre-made).
2. Slide it upside down over the metal rod, positioning it above the flames.
3. Secure it at the top with a nut and washer, leaving enough gap for air circulation.

1. Arrange oil lamps on the plate, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
2. Fill the lamps with oil and insert cotton wicks.
