Fall Decorating: Pumpkin Candlesticks

Recycle old home decor for your fall decorations to make these darling pumpkin candlesticks!

Welcome to another edition of Craft Lightning–Halloween style! It’s September, so about the time to start thinking about updating the house with fall decorations and Halloween. For me, I never seem to have the same decorating combo out twice and I like it like that!

What that does mean is that I have to do a lot of craft recycling. Who needs to go out and buy more stuff when you’ve got things to re-purpose? No one! These Pumpkin Candlesticks were created from pieces I found in my house already. All they really need is a paint job and a dot of hot glue, so they’re super fast to make into decor!

Pumpkin Candlestick Materials:

  • Candlestick with wide top
  • Small pumpkin
  • White chalkpaint (buy it here)

I found some old candlesticks in a closet, but a trip to the thrift store will probably produce a few that you’ll love. No need for this to be expensive!

The small pumpkins I used were already in my fall decor boxes, but this time of year the dollar stores and craft stores are brimming with fake pumpkins.

If you haven’t used chalkpaint before, it sticks to anything so it’s a good choice for plastic pumpkins.

Pumpkin Candlestick Assembly

This fall decorating couldn’t be easier. You’re pretty much just going to paint everything white. That’s right, it’s like skill level zero. You can do this!

After you’ve given your candlesticks and pumpkins a beautiful new paint job, just pop the pumpkins on top of the candlesticks. If you’re into spookier decorations, a few spiders on your candlesticks would be a great addition!

Place them in their new home for the season. I’m just starting to decorate, but I love how they work in this room!

    These look so pretty. I have black candle sticks similar to yours and adding white pumpkins on top might be a great look, too! I’d hate to paint them so I’m hoping they’d make the pumpkins pop!

    The pumpkin candlesticks are so elegant. They can stay out until it is time to decorate for Christmas.

    Now I’m going to have to keep an eye out for large topped candlesticks and small plastic pumpkins. Ha! I just bought some small containers of chalkpaint though. Did you add some kind of crackle to yours or does it crackle like that on its own? It’s such a simple project, with some really lovely results. Thanks for inspiring!

      A thick coat of paint on plastic–it crackled all on its own 🙂

    I have one wood white candlestick, now to find couple more. Have bluish-green glass candlestick but don’t want to paint it.
    Anyway, love how all 3 of your white candle sticks look with white pumpkins on top, great look, very uncluttered.
    You have same colors in your room we do, white, gray and aqua. We have little bit of coral to offset. Love how room looks so fresh and clean with those colors. Your room is very relaxed looking.
    Have great week

    I love how you took the candlesticks to elevate the pumpkins. It gives the pumpkins presence.

Meet Paula

My father came home from a trip for work when I was a little girl toting a huge (to me) book of fairy tales. I was instantly smitten with the beautiful illustrations and the stories that came alive from those worn pages. My favorite was always the frog prince…my mother read it to me over and over (and over.) Read More…
