The holidays always come around way quicker than expected, at least for me. Is this the case for you too?

Here’s what happens every single year around Halloween: it’s October 1st, and then the next day it’s October 21st. Just like that! It’s so weird. Maybe this sounds familiar.

Inevitably if you haven’t started Halloween decorating or crafts yet, you’re scrambling, just like me.

Honestly my best decorations for the current year are the ones I made the year before at the last minute. I hope I’m not making you think I’m a huge flake . . . I love Halloween crafts, I’m just never ready!

If you’re like me, it’s okay! Because I have your back with these Halloween candle holders. I’m going to help you get prepare with some spooky selections! Not only are these easy but they are budget friendly. Yep, lots of Dollar Tree supplies.

I find that, when decorating for the holidays, one thing that always sets the tone quite nicely is candles.

With it getting dark earlier each day, with gray skies and impending rain (at least here in the PNW), with everyone home and cozy . . . candle holders are a welcome decor item that everyone seems to love.

Not only are Halloween candle holders perfect for decor (indoor and out), but they are a must for any parties.

They also work for gifts as well! Bring your host or hostess one of these awesome candle holders to let them know you appreciate them.
