so we’ve combined all three for the ultimate festive table
Items required

Cocktail sticks
Steps
It’s as simple as it looks, but equally striking and smells fantastic.
Bigger oranges are easier than smaller oranges, and you’ll need your knife
to be sharp. Cut a cross into the top of the orange and push in your candle,
if your oranges are juicy then you’ll need to do this over a sink. We chose
a fir green candle but white or red would also look very festive.

Tie on your ribbon. We’ve gone for a traditional green to match the candle
but why not go for a contrasting blue velvet or a rich purple? We also kept
the ends long to drape casually across the table for added elegance.

If your oranges are a little wobbly, create a mini tripod of halved cocktail stick
to regain their balance.
