Bypass fancy jack-o-lantern carvings by cutting a small hole in the top of a small pumpkin or gourd and place a candle inside the cavity for warm fall lighting. This project makes a great centerpiece for a fall party or even Thanksgiving. Use different sizes of pumpkins, surrounding them with other unlit pumpkins and gourds for a fast and easy arrangement.
