When I was working on some ideas for fall table decorations for our newly renovated outdoor patio, I knew I wanted it to be cozy & romantic. To me that means candles.

These pumpkin candles from Pottery Barn immediately spoke to my fall loving heart, but y’all that price tag did not. So naturally, the diy-er in me had to create something similar for less.

The Steps:

1. Start by heating up the candle wax in a pan on the oven. The wax will tell you how much you need for the size of your container, for this mold (6 pumpkins I used 1 bar of wax.

2. While that is melting, set up your candle wicks in the molds. I use close pins to hold up the wicks & keep them in the center.

3. Once the wax is completely melted, add in some pumpkin spice seasoning. You could add whatever flavoring you want though, sometimes I use vanilla extract or essential oils.

4. After you mix in your desired scent pour the wax into each mold, filling them all the way to the top.

TIP: Lay now newspaper or parchment paper underneath the mold for spills. I never remember that step & always have to scrape dry wax off later.

5. I poured a few of the candles without any coloring because I think white is always classic & pretty, the other two are a classic pumpkin orange color. You can add any coloring you want by simply throwing a crayon into the melting max while it’s on the stove.

6. The DIY pumpkin candles only take a couple of hours to harden. Once they are solid you can pop them out of the mold & trim the wicks!

How cute are these candles y’all?! I big puffy heart love them & they are the the perfect fall table decoration.

They add the sweetest touch to my fall table & they smell amazing! Anyone else also thinking these would be cute for Thanksgiving table decoration?

I am saving the orange pumpkin spice candles for the fireplace, who am I kidding, I’ll be sprinkling these sweet candles all over the house!
