Fall has long been my absolute favorite time of year, and in my opinion Boise in the fall is one of the best places you can be. Beautiful crisp mornings, tons of trees changing colors, and just warm enough that you can still be outside and enjoy all the beauty around you.

So, in honor of my most beloved season, I thought I’d share with you a quick fall craft that will bring all the great smells of the season into your home. All you need is a small pie pumpkin, apple corer, knife, spoon, tea light and some common household spices.

Ready? Good! Let’s make some pumpkin luminaries!

Step one: Cut off the pumpkin’s top and scrape out all the innards. (You can save the seeds for roasting, click here for some yummy recipes.)

Step two: Carve out holes all around the pumpkin with the apple corer.

Step three: Rub cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and nutmeg onto the lid. You can also push whole cloves into the lid if you have them.

Step four: Place a tea light in the bottom of the pumpkin, light it, put on the lid and sit back and enjoy that lovely “pumpkin-pie-just-out-of-the-oven” scent for up to six hours. Preferably with a cup of warm apple cider in hand!
