- Adding Fall color to a plain candle -
...____________...
This DIY Fall candle decorating project is so simple and easy. I did this to add some color to my plain candle, and I think it's a charming addition to my other fall decor. I used faux fall leaves and berries, and one of my battery operated faux candles. I like that these candles look and feel like real candles, but there is no flame or fire hazard.
I thought I had some natural jute or twine on hand which I had planned to use for this project. But after a failed search for it I got creative, or shall I say more creative? I removed a handle from a paper bag and unwrapped it, cut off about a quarter of it down the long edge, then re-twisted it to use later to tie around the candle.

The wide piece of unrolled paper was used to wrap around the candle, the leaves were then placed over that. While using a rubber band to hold the paper and leaves in place, the thin piece of twisted paper was wrapped around and tied into a knot to secure, then the rubber band was removed. The berries were tucked in under the tied knot to finish the look.

The rubber band can be seen here before it was removed.

This candle wasn't going to be used as a center piece or viewed from both sides, but leaves can be placed on both sides if so, which I may do later. I love how simple this was to create, and I think it's adorable. I can use it throughout the Fall, and also incorporate it into my Thanksgiving table too!

You may remember this photo from a previous post on Fall decorating.
Yes, that is Candy Corn in those candle holders! That's easy-peasy to do too. Just add the Candy Corn to the bottom of a candle holder and place a votive candle down into it and fill around it with the candy! {Warning: some people actually do eat Candy Corn, (ehem)...to my husband, "stop eating the decorations!"}
Those really do look great next to my faux decorated candle!
FALLing for Faux!...
