Step 1:
Cut off the top of the gourd. Using the melon baller, hollow out a few inches. Make sure you leave enough space so that the tea light will rest level with the top of the gourd. It may help to measure the height of the tea light beforehand.
Step 2:
Remove the candle from its metal encasement.
Step 3:
Place the candle in the gourd’s newly carved-out hollow, and you’re done!
Thanksgiving Bar Cart
You Will Need:
- (1) Two- or three-shelf bar cart
- (2) or (3) Pumpkins of varying sizes
- (1) Handful of wheat ears
- (1) Large vase with flowers
- (2) or (3) Bottles of the drink of your choice
- Drinkware
Before you get started:
This Thanksgiving bar cart stands out for a reason. Can you guess what it is?
Step 1:
Arrange the vase on the left or right corner of the top shelf. This will be your statement piece.
Step 2:
Group together the bottles on the opposite side, to balance the height created by the vase.
Step 3:
To ground, place the larger pumpkins on the lower shelf. Fill in empty spaces with the remaining accessories.
