Having a beautifully decorated room is only a first step towards a
relaxing time at home. In order to complete the process, you’ll need
some scented candles that will create a great atmosphere. But good
quality scented candles can be a bit expensive and at many times they
contain a lot of harmful chemicals. So how about trying to make your own
candles by using something that you already have at home and has a
natural scent too? Oranges are the perfect fruits for this project and
by peeling them your will get the most perfect scented candle ever.
Besides oranges you will also need:
• some olive oil;
• matches;
• a knife;
• matches;
• a knife;
Start by cutting the orange in half and take out the fruit. You
should eat the fruit as it is very healthy and then proceed to make the
candle out of the peel. Trim the wick and pour olive oil on its bottom.
Place the half orange on a plate and leave it there until the oil soaks
into the peel. This will take 2-3 hours to complete. After that you can
light your candle. Don’t worry if it doesn’t work at a first try, you
will need a bit of patience, but after 7-8 matches you should be able to
light your new candle and enjoy the relaxing scent it will release into
your home. This is a great way to freshen your room every time you have
guests coming over or for a nice and cozy spa day at home.
