How-To

• 8-inch amber-colored (or clear) glass candleholder
• Pillar candle to fit inside the candleholder
• Clear glass plate, platter, tray, or board
• Natural or artificial fall leaf garland or branches
• Miniature artificial pears, apples, or gourds (Ours came pre-attached to 6-inch wires.)
• Acorns, mini pinecones, and fall berry picks or bittersweet sprigs
• 22-gauge wire
• Wire cutters

 

1. Place glass candleholder on a clear glass platter. Insert candle.
2. Arrange fall leaf garland around the candleholder.
3. Bend the leaf sprigs so the stem is arched and place these into the garland, around the candleholder on the glass plate.
4. Arrange larger items around the circle -- mini-pears, gourds, etc.
5. Insert berry picks to fill in empty spaces.
6. If desired, use hot glue or wire to secure bunches of items together before inserting into the garland.
