I just found this idea and think it’s incredibly cool. I bet it makes your house smell amazing! Here is a pic of it below:
Apartment Thereapy has a DIY slide show.
Just as with any candle, DO NOT leave this candle un attended. I may even rest it on top of a candle holder of so me type just to be safer.
Be patient with this. It may take a few oranges to get one to “light”.
Some tips from someone who tried this:
* keep the oil high and the wick low
* the clementine will absorb a good amount of the oil
* the clementine will shrink over time
* cut the star big or it will catch on fire
Very cool, didn’t knew that trick! It must have a great scent, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the comment! Happy you liked it!
WOW! Now I know what to do with those oranges in my fridge. I want to see if I can try this tonight. I always find awesome ideas on your blog ♥
yeah def lmk if it works! it sounds like it takes patience. I heard to light the orange it’s better to use a lighter im not sure why. I also love the persons suggestion of make the star big or it will catch on fire hahahah oh lord I can just see someone trying this DIY, starting a house fire, and trying to sue the shit out of me. I could not resist posting though cause it sounds like a cool idea if it works!! lmk your results.
oh and i believe it’s for a Clementine. Hope you have those? Sorry I wrote orange
I forget they are a bit different. I think its because the skin peels off clementine easier.
This is so very cool. Definitely going to have to try this! And thanks for posting it.
