Create a Natural Orange Candle at Home

Create a Natural Orange Candle at Home 🍊🕯️

A simple DIY project that transforms an everyday orange into a warm, natural candle. This method uses basic ingredients and creates a cozy atmosphere with a fresh citrus scent.

✨ What You Need

One fresh orange

Olive oil

A knife

Matches or a lighter

🍊 Step 1: Prepare the Orange
Cut the orange in half carefully. Keep the peel intact to form a natural candle holder.

🍊 Step 2: Remove the Pulp
Gently remove the inner fruit, leaving the center stem untouched. This stem will act as the wick.

🫒 Step 3: Add Olive Oil
Pour olive oil into the orange peel until it reaches just below the top of the stem. Let it absorb for a few minutes.

🔥 Step 4: Light the Wick
Light the stem slowly. Once it catches, it creates a steady and soft flame.

🌿 Step 5: Enjoy the Glow
Relax with a non-toxic, naturally scented candle that brings warmth and simplicity to your space.

Perfect for cozy evenings, mindful moments, or natural home decor 🌿✨
