Today is Tuesday!!! Again!!!
Thank goodness we get to experience another Tuesday--the perfect opportunity to share orange!
So today I thought I'd share an orange!
Look how cool this little lamp is that I made from an orange!
Orange, lemons, limes and grapefruits all make really sweet, sustainable lamps--no manufacturing, no molds, no packaging, and you probably already have one available in your kitchen, no extra cost! This is a super easy. simple, sustainable lighting option, especially in a lights out or emergency situation.
Just cut in half, then remove the fruit from the rind, leaving the little pithy stem that runs down through the center where all the sections meet. That pithy stem (for the lack of anything better to call it) will become the wick.
Simply pour some sort of vegetable oil into the rind, light the pithy wick and whallah---
you have a lamp!!
I'm grateful to play the colorchallenge with @kalemandra and all the other Steemians sharing orange today.
May your day be blessed with brilliance!
Thanks for visiting my blog.
That is awesome!!
True sustainability!
This reminds me of my school days, we made these ones from lemons and oranges when we were out and about in the woods, or building our tree houses. That were they days! :) I shall pick this up again from time to time I go out camping with a little bus and most of the time without electricity. But we have those led lamps, those that chances colours, but this is cool to do. I'll not forget next time (probably next srping/summer season though).
It's fun to recall some of the neat thing we did as kids, and realize how easy, sustainable and resourceful we were. I love that the options still exist and some very worthwhile repeating. I appreciate your comment @edje.
Cool idea! I'll have to try that. Upvoting and following
