Illuminating Your Home with Aromatic Clementine Candles

Hello my lovely readers!

As we enter the season of winter and holidays, the atmosphere lures us into a world of joy, warmth, and coziness. Embrace this season’s spirit by adding a delightful touch to your home ambiance. Let’s delve into a creative DIY process today – the beautiful Clementine Candles!

Clementines, known for their sweet, citrusy scent and vibrant color, serve more than just a delicious, low-calorie snack option. They possess the magical ability to transform into a natural, aromatic, and home-made candle, equally cherished by children and adults alike.

The process which may sound complex initially, I assure you, is incredibly simple and a sheer joy. The list of required items mainly includes some juicy, fresh clementines, and olive (or vegetable) oil. Having a knife and a spoon aids the peeling process, while a lighter or matches is necessary to light up your candle.

To start off with the deconstruction of your clementines, make a shallow cut around the waist. Ensure not to go too deep as we don’t want to harm the precious flesh inside. Next, peel away one half of the skin with the help of your spoon, turning it into a bowl-shape.

The other half needs to stay attached to the clementine’s stem (also known as the ‘wick’) which might be a bit tricky to get right in the first attempts but doesn’t stop one from enjoying the process. Finesse is key in this step.

Once you have your clementine bowls, pour olive oil into the first half until it nearly reaches the top. Give it a few minutes to absorb. Light your candle then, and see your clementine filling the room with a warm, cozy glow and a divine citrus aroma.

Interestingly, the top half isn’t discarded either. Holes carved out in the shape of stars or hearts can make it the perfect candle lid, enhancing the aesthetic vibe.

It’s fascinating how these Clementine Candles can alter an ordinary evening into a festive one. They possess a dual charm – not just as a source of light, but also as an alluring centrepiece for your dinner settings or holiday decorations. Plus, the look of astonishment on your guests’ faces as you reveal the mystery behind these glowing orbs is definitely a sight to relish!

You see, bringing nature inside our home is a beautiful way of establishing a connection with it. We hope that you enjoyed this blog post and feel inspired to delve into the pool of creativity and DIY.

Engulfing in such activities, apart from sparking joy and celebration, also serve as a gentle reminder- that blissful moments can be found in the simplest of things around us.
