Supplies:

Tea lights or taper candles
Small pumpkins
A carving knife
A pencil

How to Make Pumpkin Candle Holders:

Use a pencil to trace the outline of a tea light (or taper candle) on the top of each pumpkin. This will serve as your stencil for carving.
Cut along the pencil outline of the circle using a sharp knife and remove the stem.
Place the tea light or taper candle in the hole.
Create a table vignette with other pumpkins, fall fruit such as apples and persimmons, or autumn foliage.

Pro tip: Make these candle holders close-ish to your event date, and refrigerate them after so they last longer!
