How to make a Christingle

To make your own Christingle:

You will need:

Orange
Candle
A square of silver foil (75 mm/3″ square)
Red tape, ribbon or strip of red crepe paper
Pins
Cocktail sticks
Sweet and/or dried fruit

Instructions: (with adult supervision, please!)

If the orange does not sit flat, cut a small slice off the bottom
Cut a small cross in the top of the orange.
Wrap a piece of red tape, ribbon or strip of red crepe paper around the middle, and pin into place.
Lay a square of silver foil (75 mm/3″ square) over the small cross cut in the top.
Place a wax candle on top of the foil and wedge it firmly into the orange (the foil catches the hot wax).
Thread sweets and/or dried fruit onto 4 cocktail sticks and push these into the orange around the base of the candle.
