Decorating for fall holidays like Thanksgiving and Halloween is one of my favorite things to do. When decorating the kitchen, I like to carve or construct candle holders from artificial fall fruits and vegetables. These candle holders become the focal point of fall centerpieces for the kitchen table or counter top. Each of these decorative fall candle holder centerpieces is unique and beautiful.
Gilded Apples Fall Kitchen Candle Holder
For this fall kitchen decorating project you will need three artificial apples. Carve a hole in the top of each apple, just the right size for a tea light candle. Spray paint all the apples bright gold and let dry. Glue the artificial apples together in a triangle using a glue gun. Let the glue dry. Place tea light candles in the carved holes and this fall kitchen decorating project is finished.
Mini Pumpkin Fall Kitchen Candle Holder
These simple little single candle holders can be placed all around the kitchen table. Carve a tea light sized hole in the top of each artificial pumpkin. Glue artificial fall leaves to the outside of each pumpkin randomly. Spay with gloss acrylic spray from the craft store. Make up more fall kitchen decorating ideas while the spray and glue dry. Insert candles into the holes to light up the kitchen table.
Squash or Gourd Knot Fall Kitchen Candle Holder
Use two long necked artificial squashes or gourds for this fall kitchen decorating idea. You will also need a six inch flat glass candle holder plate and a bit of fall leaf garland. Glue the leaf garland around the plate edge. Let dry. Place a 4 inch round tall pillar candle on the plate. Glue the artificial squash around and to the candle with the necks in opposite direction to give the appearance of a knot.
Grapes and Vine Wreath Fall Kitchen Candle Holder
For this fall kitchen decorating idea, use a tall fat pillar candle and a grapevine wreath of just the right size to fit snugly over the bottom. You will also need two small bunches of artificial grapes. Squeeze a thin ring of glue around the candle at the bottom. Slide the grapevine wreath in place over the glue. Glue the grape bunches around the candle in random fashion. Let dry and place on the kitchen table.
Cornucopia Fall Kitchen Candle Holder
This fall kitchen decorating idea uses a ready made empty cornucopia from a craft store. Choose fall fruits and vegetables to fill the cornucopia. Fill the cornucopia and glue a small round glass candle holder upright onto the larger part of the opening. Glue small fruits such as berries around the bottom of the candle holder. Use an electric votive light in this fall kitchen candle holder for safety.
