With Thanksgiving just a little over a week away, I'm in major house-decorating mode. One of the things I love best about the holidays is candles. You can't exactly decorate with candles in the summer, since it's WAY too hot to light them when the temperature outside is quite steamy, too. That's why the Fall is perfect: you can have candles everywhere, set a beautiful mood and even warm up a bit in the process.
Well, the only thing about decorating the house with candles is that it's a bit boring and predictable, isn't it? When I started to look for how to incorporate my love of candles into my love of Thanksgiving, I thought: why not make some candle decorations myself? The only problem is that I just don't have a lot of time to devote to this craft project. That's why these 5 super-easy Thanksgiving candle decorations (all made with foods you already have around the house) are simply perfect. Come on, do it yourself!
