Creative ideas for decorating your home with candles

Insert tall, slim tapers in a window box filled with herbs or other greenery. By day, the box in a sunny window is a reminder of warmer months to come. By night, the tapers add a glow for all the neighborhood to see. (Watch to make sure the candles don't burn too low.)

Create an arrangement on a table or mantel by putting candles inside unusual bottles and jars. Votives shine in canning jars, for example, while narrow-necked bottles make ideal stands for tapers. Mixing up the bottle shapes and colors adds interest.

Light a stairway by putting a pillar candle in a glass container on each stair. Use kitchen string to attach an autumn leaf or clump of bittersweet to the outside of each jar, but you could do the same thing with paper snowflakes, simple ornaments and other holiday stuff.
