Cranberry Candles – lovely for your Thanksgiving table

These Cranberry Candle Cups are warm and elegant for your holiday dinner table and are so easy to make. They can be very pretty on your mantel as well.

All you need is a few glass candle cups and a package of fresh cranberries.  Look around your home and see what clear glass bowls or cups you might have to use for this or the dollar store is a great place to find these very inexpensively. (You all know by now, I LOVE the dollar store:) I keep a handful of these cups on hand at all times…..there great in summer to float a rose in…..and we’ll stop right there, because today is about glowing cranberry candles for your fall table  🙂

Instructions (are suuuuper easy)

1. Choose a clear glass candle cup like in the photo.
2. I have several different sized ones that I like to use. The medium sized ones work well.
3. Set a white votive candle in the glass bowl, not a tea light but a votive.
4. Next just layer in fresh cranberries around the candle.
5. Last on the table add some fall leaves, acorns and seed pods around them and its very pretty, simple and just gives a warm feeling for your table.                                                                                                         

Now for Christmas time you can use pine greens, pine cones, and fake red berry picks on the table instead of fall leaves & acorns and it looks very festive then for Christmas time as well.

Note:  You can find candle cups like these at Thrift shops  or consignment/antique stores for quite inexpensive., But I challenge you looook around you house, what do you already have? …..that probably would work great!
These are easy and so pretty I love having these on my table or counter during the Fall and Christmas season.
