As the fall season approaches, many people begin to think about how they can decorate their homes to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. With the arrival of Halloween and Thanksgiving, pumpkins are a popular choice for fall decor, and there are countless ways to incorporate them into your home. One easy and fun way to do this is by creating your own pumpkin candle holders.

Pumpkin candle holders are a festive and charming decoration that can add warmth and coziness to any room in your home. They are the perfect DIY project for those who love to get creative and enjoy the fall season. Whether you choose to use real or fake pumpkins, these candle holders are a simple and affordable way to bring the spirit of autumn into your home.

To make your own pumpkin candle holders, you will need a few basic supplies, including pumpkins (real or fake), a carving knife or other cutting tool, and tea lights or votive candles. You can also use paint, glitter, or other decorative elements to add a personalized touch to your candle holders.

If you choose to use real pumpkins, you will need to cut off the top and scoop out the seeds and flesh. For fake pumpkins, you can simply use a knife or cutting tool to carve a hole in the top. Then, place your tea light or votive candle inside the pumpkin, and light it up to create a warm and inviting glow.

These pumpkin candle holders are perfect for a cozy night in, a festive Thanksgiving table, or even as a gift for a friend or family member.

You can use real or fake pumpkins.

Stitch Your Favorite Fruit on a Sweater

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.”

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them.

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits.

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves.

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit.

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.

Grab a copy of the pattern for yourself form Bea Creative Knits on Etsy.
