All Natural Orange Candle ๐๐ฏ๏ธ This little trick was nothing short of adorable and super useful if you need a soft candle or an air freshener in a pinch! What you'll need to make this work: - an orange (I used a Cara Cara orange which worked perfectly since it's seedless, and has a thick peel and central core) - 2 tablespoons olive oil (per half) - a utility lighter - a sharp knife - a spoon Directions: - cut the orange in half horizontally (this will ensure the central core remains intact, which is extremely important) - carefully remove the surrounding inner fruit without damaging the central core (using a knife and spoon will come in handy here) - dry and clean any residual juice or flesh from inside the orange half before pouring olive oil directly over the stem until it fills halfway up - let the olive oil sit for at least 5 minutes before attempting to light the "wick" (you'll notice the volume of oil will reduce because the stem and skin will absorb some of it, this is a good thing!) - now use the utility lighter to light the core (this took me around 2-3 minutes of holding the lighter directly on the stem because the olive oil needs to reach the ignition point in order to keep the flame lit) - once you get the flame to stick, it should last for at least two hours - now you can either make another candle with the other half of the orange or do as I did in the video and cut a small hole at the top and place over your newly made candle, which will help protect your flame from blowing out while also enhancing the citrusy aroma #orange #oliveoil #allnatural #homemade #candle #citrus #caracara #easy #diy #kitchenhacks #tisrarewegetout #simplehomestyle #candlelover #candlewick #foodstagram #foodheaven #instamood #instagood #instalike #tipsandtricks #orangecandle #wagonwheel #oldcrowmedicineshow
