Are we tired of pumpkins yet? I sure hope not, as the Thanksgiving season is just beginning! Pumpkins are a great way to show the harvest of the season and bring a pop of color into your homes. They not only represent the month of October and Halloween, but are truly great for November and the season of giving thanks as well. And so, today’s craft will get us and keep us in the pumpkin mood. This perfect pumpkin votive holder is the perfect decor piece for your holiday table, holiday mantel, and more. Take a look at how easy it is to make one, or two, or three!
The Perfect Pumpkin Votive Holder
Supplied Needed:
Small and fresh pumpkin gourd
Knife
Spoon or scoop tool
Votive candle
Don’t you love DIY projects that only use a handful of supplies? I sure do!
Directions:
- Begin by cleaning your pumpkin with warm water and antibacterial soap. This will keep it from rotting so quickly once you carve into it. You want it to last, so this is a great step you don’t want to skip.
- Cut a circle around the stem just as you would a large pumpkin when carving.
- Remove and discard the stem. Take a spoon or scooping tool and carve out a bowl shape into the pumpkin.
- You can now rewash it with a little antibacterial soap if you wish. Dry it well.
- Take the votive candle and press it into the pumpkin until it is secure.
Now all you need to do is light your votive (or just turn it on if it is battery operated) and you are all set. How gorgeous would your holiday table look with one of these pumpkins at each place setting? Or how gorgeous would your mantel look with a row of these along it? The final look would no doubt be stunning.
Give this simple and inexpensive perfect pumpkin votive holder craft a try and see how easy it is to get in and stay in the pumpkin spirit this holiday season! When you have made one, or two, or even three, snap a pic and share it on our Facebook page or Community Chat page. We would love to see what you have come up with and give you some pumpkin props!
Happy crafting!
