Olive Oil And Lemon Oil Lamp

June 14, 2016 by Shellie Wilson

If you’re looking for a unique and natural way to light up your home, try making your own olive oil and lemon oil lamp. Not only does it provide a soft and warm glow, but the aroma is simply delightful. This DIY project is easy to do and requires only a few basic materials that you probably already have at home.

To start, you’ll need a fresh lemon, olive oil, and a wick. You can purchase a pre-made wick, or make your own by braiding cotton string and soaking it in olive oil for several hours. It’s also important to have a small dish or container to hold the oil and lemon.

Begin by cutting the top off the lemon and scooping out the flesh, leaving the white pith intact. This will serve as the base for your lamp. Next, fill the lemon with olive oil until it is about three-quarters full. Insert your wick into the oil, making sure it is securely in place. You may need to use a small piece of wire to hold the wick in place at the top of the lemon.

To light your lamp, simply ignite the wick with a lighter or match. The oil will slowly burn, providing a gentle and relaxing ambiance. The lemon acts as a natural diffuser, releasing the sweet and tangy scent of fresh citrus into the air.

It’s important to note that while olive oil and lemon oil lamps are safe to use, they should always be supervised while burning. The jar can become quite hot, so it’s important to keep the lamp on a stable surface and out of reach of children or pets.

If you’re feeling creative, there are many variations you can try with this simple recipe. For example, you can add a few drops of essential oil to the olive oil for a personalized scent. You can also experiment with different types of citrus, such as oranges or grapefruits, for a slightly different fragrance.

Olive oil and lemon lamps also make great centerpieces for outdoor gatherings, such as backyard barbecues or garden parties. They provide a unique and charming touch to any event, and the aroma is sure to be a hit with your guests.
