30 minute fall craft

I've seen these pumpkin candle holders on the internet and I thought that I could make my own. So I went to Joanns and bought some styrofoam pumpkins in the floral section along with some fall flowers and berries. Then I picked up some candles at the dollar store and grabbed some ribbon that I had on hand. Then I went to work.

Step 1: Gather your supplies and a hot glue gun.


Step 2: Trace your candle on the pumpkin where you want it to sit.


Step 3: Carve out a little hole for your candle and set the candle into the pumpkin.



Step 4: Decorate with leaves, flowers, berries, ribbon etc.


Step 5: Set it on a candle holder on your mantle, table shelf or anywhere you like. Enjoy!



Got an extra 15 minutes? Take this craft one step farther by applying some oak gel stain to the pumpkin to tone down the orange and give it a more rustic look. Then instead of the leaves, use a fall berry sprig and voila, you've got a whole new look!






A quick, easy, inexpensive, super cute fall craft. It doesn't get any better than that! Make a bunch and show me what you do with your pumpkin candles.
