Homemade Votive Holders

This is an old post but I brought it out because these little votive holders are so cute and easy to make!

All you need are some of those little gourds that look like pumpkins, a small sharp knife and a votive candle.

First cut off the top of the gourd. Hold your knife at an angle and cut into the gourd. Its a little tough so be careful.

Once you have the top cut off and the seeds and pulp cleaned out, check to see if you need to trim the inside of the cut out hole so that a votive will fit.

You can use a small ice cream or dough scoop to clean the seeds and pulp out of the gourd.

Put your votive in the carved out gourd……

And light the candle. Try grouping several of these little beauties for a warm, inviting harvest table decoration.

    Hiya! Quick question that’s completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?

    My website looks weird when browsing from my iphone 4. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to
    correct this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share.
    Appreciate it!

      No I don’t, sorry. It looks fine on my phone so I don’t know what to tell you.
