Fall Decor- Lovin these Candles

I can't tell you how excited I am for fall!  I think its the most beautiful season.  I love the colors, the smells, the temperature, and all my favorite fall foods.  With my obsession for fall, its safe to say I'm in full swing decorating the Harvey house.  

Each season I change out the candles in the center of our kitchen table.  I had three Apothecary type jars left from our wedding that were perfect for this project.

What You Need:
Jars (Apothecary, Mason, Hurricanes etc)
Candles
Yellow Corn Kernels
Red Beans
Split Peas
Raffia or Jute


These are so simple to make.  All you need to do is put your candles down in the middle of the jars and layer the corn, beans, and peas around the candles .  Tie a little raffia or jute around the jars and you  now have the cutest fall candle holders. (I took my picture before I added the jute) 

I loved these so much I had to make a set in some Mason jars I had to place on our mantle.
