Fall is here again! Time to comfy up your home decor.

Nothing sets the comfy mood of a home more than candles and candle light. After pumpkin picking with the kids, I had extra mini pumpkins laying around the house. So I put them to use by turning them into candle holders.

Here's how to make your DIY Pumpkin Candle Holders for your home.

Start with these items

Small pumpkins
Tea Light Candles
Sharp knife
Sharpie or pen (not shown)
Spoon (not shown)

Start with your mini pumpkin top side up. Break the steam off if your pumpkin has one.

Using a tea light candle, place the candle on the top of the pumpkin (where the steam would be).

Trace the shape of the tea light candle to create a circle in the middle of the pumpkin.

Using the knife, cut along the circle that you made on the pumpkin. Make sure not to cut all the way through to the bottom. Just above halfway into the pumpkin should be fine. Pop the top off.

Scoop out the inside meat of the pumpkin. Be sure to leave some of the meat inside on the bottom - so that your candle wont sink too far into the cut hole.

If your like me, you probably scooped out too much :-) If so, just turn one candle upside down and stack the other candle right side up on top.

Lastly, stick the tealight into the cut out hole. Light your candle and enjoy!

I love this DIY! These are the perfect addition for your Thanksgiving table setting or just used for fall decor around your house.

Try this DIY and send me photos of your mini pumpkin candle holders! I'll feature it on this blog.

Autumn is such a beautiful time. The explosion of color and character along the trees and the need to dig out your sweaters that has been hibernating all summer long. It’s also that time of year when you find yourself looking for that extra throw to cover up with at night. There's no longer a need to keep the windows wide open all night.

It's not hard to tell that I absolutely love this season . Autumn is my very favorite season of the year, for many reasons: the change and feel of a new season and the excuse to switch things up in your home! So lets look at some ways to cozy up your home forfall.

Throw Some Comfort On Your Sofa

A beautiful throw for the sofa is a great way to cozy up your living room. Look for one that is irresistibly soft and compliments the decor of your living room. A throw makes it all the more easy to cuddle up on the couch with a nice cup of tea, hot cocoa or a glass of wine.

Add New Comfort to Your Bed Set

A thick and fluffy comforter or duvet will instantly bring your room from simply summer to familiar fall. When choosing the right bedding, keep the color and style in mind. Make sure it compliments the mood and decor of the bedroom while also focusing on the feeling of comfort and coziness.

Treat Your Windows Right

Updating your window treatments for fall is not only for the visual benefit of of your home, it will also save you money. Using insulated curtains help to keep in any heat while helping to prevent drafts from coming in from outside. Opt for warm colors to change the feel on the room for the cold weather.
