DIY Apple Candle Holder

It’s apple season!!!

I love apples! I love to eat them and I love to decorate with them. This easy craft is a fun way to use up all the apples you have this fall. These Apple Candle Holders would make for a great decoration or even a centerpiece for a big event like homecoming or Thanksgiving!

3. To create the holder for your tea lights, use the melon baller, scoop out the depth of your candle. For tapered candle sticks, use the apple corer.
4. Apply lemon juice to the inside of the apple to prevent browning.

*Light a separate tapered candle and drip wax around the edge of your candle where it meets the apple to fill any gaps and create a drip effect on the apple if desired. *
