How awesome is this??? LOVE your ideas & the pictures are inspiring as well. I have used the Pampered Chef corer to make candle holders in the past. . . but of course, my DH got to the mini pumpkins before I had the chance this year. . .they are MIA. Oh well! See you on your blogs:)

To my new BFF,
I love all of these ideas! I’m using pumpkins as my theme for Thanksgiving this year, so I will be trying the candleholder idea! Thanks!

Kimba, lovely article. That table cloth is awesome! I also love the “Giving Thanks” candles. That would be super inexpensive with paper bags even.

I love it aaaaaaallllll! When I was a kid we used to have a sweet gum tree in our yard. I loved playing with those prickly balls, but stepping on one sure did hurt! I’ve seen a couple of other ideas using them and with this idea it makes me wish I still had one. But my husband would freak. I guess I’ll have to ~~steal~~ borrow someone else’s.

I didn’t mean to harp about the gum balls, because I love all the other ideas, too, especially the Giving Thanks candles and white pumpkin candle holders. I do that with apples at Christmas, and it’s just so pretty!

Hi Kimba,

I really like the idea of the candles on the mantle. My apartment’s 480 sq ft, so no mantle. But I’m going to hang on to this post and, you know, keep dreaming! Great collection, Kimba!

Adorable use of mini pumpkins! Too bad mine were nasty by Halloween- I served Pumpkin Bisque in them for that tea party I had. That was fabulous, but I had hoped they’d last longer so I could do a lot of candle holding stuff with them.

Kimba! I spent 2.25 minutes looking at my little leftover pumpkins tonight. I wanted to toss them but I knew my 4-year old would throw a fit. Now we have another project! Thanks. And I love the wrapped candles… Actually I love it all. more more!
