Orange carving
To cut out a fragrant candlestick from an orange, you need one orange, an ordinary or special knife, a candle, a glass and a dry clove. First of all, you should decide on the pattern - for example, you can choose triangles, circles, semicircles or zigzags. Then you need to put the orange in a glass and plant a clove in a circle, placing it in the place where the glass and the orange touch. To make an orange look like a candlestick, you need to carefully cut its top to the diameter of the future candle. If desired, you can add more patterns from cloves, after which a candle is placed in the candlestick and it is ready for use.
The orange candle holder is not only a creative decoration - but also a wonderful natural flavor for the room.
Also, using orange carving, you can make a funny smile - for this you need to mark the peel of an orange with a knife or felt-tip pen, drawing a face with thin strokes. Then the “drawing” needs to be cut deeper, trying not to touch the white layer under the peel and carefully remove the cut parts. On an orange, you should get eyes and a laughing mouth - if you want, you can cut any other face using the same carving technology.
