Alcohol Stove & Wonder Box

In May we will be doing Emergency Preparedness in Sewing Group. We are going to be making an alcohol stove that when used the only byproducts are water and carbon dioxide so it can be used indoors if necessary. We will also be making a wonder box which is similar to a slow cooker. For facts about these items please email me, email found on profile, and I will send you our information sheet. Please be prepared with the following items on May 7th. (There is no need to wash fabric before making the wonder box seeing how there will be no washing after you make it.) We'll see you there.

Alcohol Stove

1 gallon paint can or a #10 cannery can (cleaned well)
1 quart sized paint can or a large peach can (cleaned well)
1 roll of cheap regular toilet paper
1 bottle of Isopropyl alcohol 70% proof

Wonder Box
