Cut a hole in the center of the top of the Gourd/Pumpkin the diameter of your tea candle.
Dig out the hole just enough so the candle will fit flush with the top.
Poke a small hole, the size of your wire, on opposite sides near the top. The hole should go into the candle hole.
This is where the creativity begins. Cut enough wire to make a long handle for your candle.
Run the wire through the holes in your pumpkin and twist them together. Be careful not to tear out the hole. It's best to from the wire with pliers before twisting it together.
To make a twig or vine handle tie one end of the wire in the pumpkin and twist the wire tightly around the twig or vine forming it into a handle, similar to a bonsai plant.
Tie the other end to the pumpkin.
You can make a handle out of a scrap piece of wood and just add it to the top part of the wire.

Make several out of different colored gourds. Your friends will think you are a creative genius!
