Easy Gourd and Candle Fall Centerpieces

Today I played around with some candles, gourds and a few other fall components. Iwanted to make a fall centerpiece, so I tried several different ideas.
I cut the center out of some small round pumpkin shaped gourds, then removed the insides and slid a votive candle into the hole. I didn’t do a great job of getting the hole the right size. I just eyeballed it. If I made them again I think I would measure instead of winging it.
They did turn out very well over all I tried it with just the votives with the gourds, some pine cones, and a couple hedge apples. I added a round candle that I had to the centerpiece. I couldn’t decide whether I liked the round candle, or just the votives.
I think it would make a great centerpiece idea for a fall party, or for your Thanksgiving feast.
