How to make apple candleholders

You can buy apple-shaped candles, but making apple candleholders is a nice DIY project for inexpensive and elegant fall decorating. In minutes, you can beautify your home with the stunning addition to your table decorations.

1. Place a tea light on top of an apple and use the knife to mark the diameter around the tea light’s circumference.

2. Cut away the apple inside the marks and remove the flesh with a teaspoon.

3. Remove enough flesh for the tea light to fit snugly in the hole, its top flush with the top of the apple.

4. Feature your apple candleholder in a centerpiece, or make several table centerpieces and scatter them throughout your tabletop decorations.
