Supplies

Baby Pumpkins, as many as you want (I’m using 3).

Tea lights/Votive candles, corresponding to the number of pumpkins.

Knife

Short and simple right?  You probably have most of those things already.  

Step 1: Take your baby pumpkins (so cute!) and place a votive on top.  Here are mine.

 

Step 2:  Use the knife to make incisions around the candle to mark how you will cut it.  See how I did it.

 

Step 3:  Remove the votive and cut off the top. 

 

Step 4:  Place candle in the hole and light!  TaDa!

Note: If your candle doesn't fit, cut around the hole more until it does.

 

Add a warm glow to your living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom.  I placed mine on the window sill.
