How to Turn Vegetables into Vases

 Here’s an easy to way turn fruits and vegetables into a gorgeous centerpiece.

Materials:- produce (turnips, squash, pomegranates, etc)
- corer
- sharp knife
- flowers
- candles

Wash and dry your veggies.

For some veggies, you may have to cut off a small piece at the bottom to make them stand upright. We’ll start with acorn squash. Cut off the bottom just a bit. Then cut off the top and get ready to core. We used a standard vegetable corer. Pumpkin carving tools would also work.

Core and dig out the middle a bit. Done!

Repeat with the rest of your produce. We used a turnip, a head of red leaf lettuce, another squash, and a pomegranate. (Pro tip: Do the pomegranate last – that pom juice gets everywhere!)

Now that you’ve got all your candle holders and vases, it’s time to fill ‘em up. We used some leftover flowers from a bouquet, wildflowers from the yard, and basic candles. Use a tray or cutting board to keep everything together.

Assemble everything together and light your candles!

Done.
