Here's what you'll need: A cutie, a knife, apple corer, some olive oil and a match or lighter. |
|
Cutie tangerines, we eat a lot of these. But who knew they could be used to make a candle? |
|
Cut in half through the middle. |
|
Take the sections out carefully. |
|
The cutie should look like this. |
|
The center of the cutie will be the wick...keep it intact. |
|
Take the other half and cut a whole in the center. I used an apple corer. |
|
Here's what it should look like. |
|
Fill cutie with olive oil, I filled mine almost to the brim. |
|
Here's what it will look like. |
|
Light wick, mine took a while to get started. |
|
After you get the wick lit, place top on the cutie. The edge of the whole might burn a light, please keep you eye on it. When it does burn, it actually gives of a great scent too. |
|
So PRETTY! |
|
The cutie candle burned for over 4 hours. |
I'm looking forward to making these for a summer party. Sprinkling these throughout the garden for a little shimmer in the yard.
****Please be careful if you attempt this craft, it's fire and we wouldn't want to burn the house down!****
