Little Green Heroes
Homemade Candle Centrepiece
If you want your Little Green Hero to beam with pride this Christmas, help them create a table centrepiece that’ll wow the whole family. Using native flowers, tealights and a repurposed Yallamundi egg carton, this gorgeous crafty creation is a great lesson in sustainability this festive season. Happy Christmas!
The Little Green Lesson: Sustainability, no-waste.
Materials
- Empty 12-pack Yallamundi eggs carton
- 6 Yallamundi eggs
- Decorative items such as native flowers
- 6 tealights
Method
-
Carefully crack the tops off your Yallamundi eggs. Pour the eggs into a container to use for cooking.
-
Wash the egg shells and let dry. Place the empty, dry shells into the egg carton, leaving a few spaces empty for your decorative items.
-
Break tealights in half and remove wicks.
-
Place a wick in the bottom of each egg shell.
-
Place one eggshell’s worth of wax (about one tealight) in a microwave-safe container and microwave until melted.
-
Carefully pour the wax into the eggshell, being careful not to get wax on the tip of the wick. Stop pouring when about 1cm of the wick is still visible.
-
Repeat steps 4-6 for the remaining shells and allow them to set.
-
Get creative and decorate your carton with festive bits and pieces – we love native flowers for a beautifully vibrant festive table.
