Bring a little autumn charm to your table with these simple pumpkin candle holders. This easy DIY takes just a few minutes and turns petite pumpkins into the perfect festive centerpiece.
Supplies You'll Need
- Small pumpkins
- Pumpkin carving kit or small carving knife
- Taper candles
How to make them
1. Choose your pumpkins:
Look for small pumpkins that sit well on a flat surface. You can use a mix of shapes and sizes for a more collected, natural look.
2. Create the opening:
Using a pumpkin carving tool, carefully cut a small circular opening in the center of the pumpkin's top. Make the opening just slightly wider than the base of your taper candle.
3. Add the candles:
Place a taper candle into the opening, making sure it sits securely and upright. Repeat with your remaining pumpkins.
4. Style your display:
Arrange the pumpkin candle holders down the center of a dining table, on a mantel or grouped together on a tray. Add greenery, fall leaves or other seasonal accents to complete the look.
