See how to make homemade DIY Pumpkin Candles for this October!
Well, it is official – we are completely and utterly obsessed with making these DIY Pumpkin Candles.
An assortment of sizes and colors of pumpkins are the perfect way to decorate for Fall. You can add these to a dining room table, coffee table, shelves or mantle. Actually, just about anywhere!
I even made a few extras to add to my front porch steps to go along with the Halloween Jack-o-lanterns. Too cute!
What kind of wax to use for candles
We love using soy wax flakes for homemade candle making. It melts so nicely and evenly. It is easy to use and pours really nicely into vessels.

How to make DIY Pumpkin Candles
This is honestly such a simple project that you could do right along with pumpkin carving. You cut off the top of the pumpkin just like you would for jack-lanterns! Scrap out the insides and dry.
