I saw this on Facebook (on Our Green Planet's wall, posted June 23) and just had to pass it along here. "...Peel the top of the orange, then gently get the natural wick at the center. Add a bit of Olive Oil, burn the wick and you have a 100% organic Candle!" I have to try this! I'll report back with results!
So... to report back on this.... FAIL! Though the wick did burn for a bit, it was not a large enough flame to do any good for light or anything else. It slowly burned out after a couple of minutes. Even after allowing the wick to sit for about half a day in the oil, still, no luck. There are plenty of other ways to make great candles, so this will not be one I try again. :P
