Mini Pumpkin Candles- with tutorial


Aren't these little guys super cute! They are also super easy to make! They are great for lighting the way for trick-or-treaters, or perfect mood lighting for a Halloween party. They could also be used for Thanksgiving next month as well (!!).

What you need:
mini pumpkins
(I got mine from Krogers grocery store, they came in a package of 7)
tea lights
knife (I used a paring knife)
sharpie


First start by tracing your candle on top of your pumpkin so that you can get an idea of where to start cutting.


Then cut the top out (just like you would with a regular pumpkin).


Next hallow out your pumpkin (again, just like you would with a regular pumpkin). Now you might have to adjust the opening a little to get your tea light to fit. I used the knife to shave the sides down until the candle could fit.

Ta-da!
Easy to make and super cute little candles. What do you think?


p.s. I know today I'm supposed to do a "Thirty Thursdays" post, but since I've done two halloween posts today I'll resume the thrifty thursdays post next week. :)
