This a really easy way to make a cute, natural looking candle holder. We started with a plain large vase (and a similar smaller vase) and layered in dry beans, barley, and lentils. Then we popped a tea candle right down into the beans, pressing it in only enough so the top of the candle was level with the beans. In the taller vase, we used a stick candle, sticking it far enough into the beans so that it wouldn't fall over.
You could stop there, but we wanted to step it up just a little bit more. We wrapped some raffia around the base of a feather and the end of a small gold leaf applique. Then we simply tied it around the outside of the vase. Viola! A pretty candle holder for Thanksgiving.
