DIY Orange Candle Holder (Natural Air Freshener)
What you need:
- 1 fresh orange
- Small knife
- Star-shaped cutter (or any shape you like)
- Cloves (optional, for decoration & smell)
- 1 small candle (tea light)
Step-by-step method:
1. Cut the orange
Slice the orange in half horizontally (like in the picture).
2. Empty the inside
Carefully scoop out the pulp using a spoon.
Keep the peel intact because it will be your candle holder.
3. Create the star shape
Take the top half of the orange peel.
Use a small knife or a cookie cutter to cut a star shape in the center.
4. Decorate with cloves
Stick cloves around the outside of the orange peel.
This gives a warm, natural fragrance and looks aesthetic.
5. Place the candle
Put the tea light candle inside the bottom half of the orange.
6. Assemble
Place the top half (with the star cut) over the candle.
7. Light it up
Turn off the lights and enjoy the cozy glow coming through the star!
Extra tips:
- Use fresh oranges so the peel is strong
- You can try other shapes (heart, circle, moon
)
- Perfect for home decor, relaxation, or romantic vibe
