How To Of The Day: Emergency Orange Candle

Emergency Candle

Power outages are never any fun, but they’re even worse if you get hit with one when you don’t have any candles around. Thankfully, Instructables user DualPhase shares a way to convert an orange into a candle in a pinch.

Using an orange, grapefruit, or lemon, and any type of oil, you can hollow out the fruit and use the middle stem as a wick. After hollowing it out, all you need to do is fill the skin with vegetable or olive oil and you’re all set. It’s a handy trick that certainly beats out using your cell phone for light in a pinch. It probably smells a lot better too. You can find the full guide over on Instructables.
