Fall Harvest Candles

Even though summer is over and the temps have dropped considerably, I love this time of year! The fall colors are so pretty and it will soon be Thanksgiving time. Whether or not you’re hosting a Thanksgiving, you can make a simple centerpiece for your dining table, front entry, coffee table or mantle. Fall harvest candles are a nice fall update that won’t cost much.

Add a few things to your grocery list: popcorn, dry split peas, and dry red beans.

Then it’s just a matter of obtaining some glass candle holders and votives and layering the popcorn kernels, beans, and peas as desired.

Tie some twine around the top and put in a votive candle.

A beautiful welcoming display for fall!

Fall Harvest Candles

Supplies Needed

2 Glass Candle Holders—at least 6 inches tall
1 cup Popcorn, unpopped
1 cup Dry Red Beans
1 cup Dry Split Peas
2 Votive Candles
Twine or Raffia

Directions

Pour a quarter to a half cup of the peas into a glass holder. Follow with the popcorn and then the red beans on top. Fill the other glass holder the same way but change the order how you would like.
Press a candle down into each one about halfway.
Wrap a piece of twine or raffia around the top rim of each holder about 3 or 4 times, and then tie in a knot or little bow.
Light the candles and enjoy a beautiful fall ambiance!
