Idea for Candles during the Fall

Katcat1 · ‎07-21-2011

Whether you use battery operated or real was candles, these acorns are a nice touch. Place some at the base of the candle in a glass hurricane or without. the acorns are $12.95 for the box @Crate & Barrel. You could also buy your own mix of nuts and use them.

How pretty!

I live around very tall oaks and I think I may collect some acorns and use indoors. I burn candles all the time.

That's a nice look. Are they artificial or real? My concern with using real acorns is that they could have worms in them.

I've heard that, too, but I've read that you can bake, soak or freeze them (not sure which method is best - it's been a while since reading about it).

I have been doing this every fall with fake acorns from pier1 that I got before they closed. I do buy a package of mixed nuts to add additional interest.

I have a mixture of very small pine cones and dull gold painted acorns (the top part of them is brown). They are on my kitchen table in a divided glass container with a battery candles on top and more acorns.

After Thanksgiving I'll add artificial cranberries, easy!

I have oak trees, have used them for years to decorate. The best part is gathering them ,in the leaves. I'm on O2 so can't have the burning candles ,but like the fake ones just as well.

I have a box of beautiful acorns from Valerie a few years back,they are glittered.and just beautiful. You can drop real ones in a can of varnish, then drop them out on wax paper. No more worms.

Very nice! I think I have some faux acorns that I bought -- gee who knows how long ago? I'll dig them out and give the idea a try. Thanks for posting it.
