How to make a simple oil lamp with two standard household items. You will need an orange (fruit) and olive oil. This will enable us to create our own lamp in case of a power outage. No electricity needed and fun to make.
We will show you how the stem of the orange will act as the wick and will actually last 6-8 hours. To add a nice effect use the top of the cut off orange as a shield. You may even get a natural citrus smell as a bonus. Who needs those 20 dollar expensive candles anyway?

I think I’d rather eat the orange in the dark, because you can make an oil lamp out of almost anything that holds oil.
what an idiot idea, set fires in homes, orange peel is deadly, next to spontanious combustion?absolute idiots
So, we’re assuming you know this for a fact, having tested your ‘theory’ out?
I can see where this would be great for aroma therapy.
I bet this would work good with lemons too.
I just wouldn`t leave it unattended for any length of time as it would be a very bad idea to leave any candle unattended for any lenghth of time ya know. Sh*t happens to the best of us ya know.
