Casually adorned with colorful fallen leaves, a simple grapevine wreath is illuminated by tea lights set inside mini-pumpkin holders. Suspended from a ceiling hook, it gives a warm, rustic atmosphere to a front porch. To make the glow last, light the candles just before your guests arrive.
The key to hanging pumpkins so they are balanced is to use three equally spaced suspending wires. If you need more than three wires for hanging tiers (as in the cranberry chandelier), use multiples of three to keep the fixture steady.
For safety, always wear heavy work gloves when using sharp tools.
