This next project could come in handy for a fancy get-together. They add a fantastic citrus smell to the air around, and a pleasing candle holder..... for very cheap. ;) I could just add the finished photo... but for this one, instead of sending you to the site where I found this cool project (beekman) I will post step by step how it was done!
Here is what the final will look like:
Step 1: Gather supplies. You will need:
Cutting board
knife
tea-light candle
spoon
orange
cloves
Step 2: Cut the orange in half
Step 3: Cut the orange flesh from the sides of the rind on both halves.
Step 4: Scrape out the flesh with a spoon. (You can eat the insides if you like. We dont need them)
Step 5: Scrape out any extra leftover bits of orange flesh that is on the sides.
Step 6: Cut a shape out of what you would like the top of the candle to be. This is where the heat and smoke will come out of. You can use a cookie cutter if you would like a more specific shape.
This is what the cut out shape looks like.
Step 7: Add cloves to the top for an extra visual element. It also adds to the smell!
Step 8: Place candle inside of the bottom half.
Step 9: Put the two halves together and light the candle!
Finished project!

- Well, I started this blog to try and create one piece of something creative a day. This plan did not work out too well... I have decided I would much rather have quality blog posts instead of quantity. SO with that decision this is now my creative canvas. I will spill all of my Ideas, inspirations, and creative processes to this one page. I hope with my words and ideas I can inspire others to awaken their creative minds as well. I'ld love to hear any suggestions, ideas, opinions or criticisms. So, here we go friends... Open the flood gates.
