20: Orangesh you glad i didnt say bannana!

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!
