How to Make Citrus Candles:
Cut each fruit in half (crosswise).
Scoop out the center of the cut fruit to create a little bowl.
Remove the wick from the candles and place it into the center of the bowl.
Place the rest of the wax melts in a microwaveable bowl.
Carefully heat until melted.
Pour the melted wax into the citrus bowls with the wick positioned vertically in the center.
Hold the wick in place for about 30 seconds while the wax hardens.
Leave them to cool and harden completely.
Trim wick if it is too long to control flame heights.
