Fall Decorating Idea Tutorial

This is an idea that was inspired by one of my favorite magazines, Country Living.  I'm always on the lookout for something quick, affordable, and easy to create. 

                                            

  Here's what you'll need:

1 Hurricane Glass Candle Holder (I got mine from Dollar General for $2.)
1 orange candle
1 bag of candy corn
a piece of twine

Fill the bottom of the candle holder with candy corn.

Place the candle in the center, and add more candy corn to support the candle to keep it from leaning to the side.

                                             

Wrap the piece of twine around the candle holder and tie in a pretty bow.

For Halloween you could add a spider ring to the twine and sit it on a table runner.

                                

Every once in a while I forget that I put the spider there and I jump when I see it.  So, if you're deathly afraid of spiders, just skip that part. 

For a Fall table scape you could sit them in between pumpkins as I have done here.

                                      

I found these pumpkins 50% off at Hobby Lobby.  I also found the sunflower floral pick 50% off there, as well.  The quilt on the table is one that I made several years ago (and wondered why in the world I made it).  Last year I was looking around my house for a fall themed table cloth and I ran across this quilt (from the bottom of the stack) and it went perfect with my pumpkins.  The adorable leaf table runner I found on sale at K-Mart pulls everything together.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.  I love to decorate my home for the seasons/holidays and sharing my ideas with you. 

Today is my birthday.  This is the first time in many, many years that my husband has been home for my birthday. We usually celebrate on a weekend that he is home, and I end up spending my actual birthday alone.   Tonight we're celebrating with my kids and grand-kids so it will be loud and fun!!!  I can't wait!!!
