Hurricane Popcorn Table Decoration – Fall DIY Project
Looking for a fast and easy decoration for your tabletop for fall? Try making this easy hurricane lamp popcorn table decoration!
This pretty vignette is made from supplies you may have on hand or can find outside. It looks wonderful on the dining room table.
These fall hurricane candle holders are a great addition to seasonal decor, and can be used right through the fall holidays.
Supplies to make these fall hurricane candle holders
To make this fall table decoration you will need just a few items. You can find them on Amazon, but check your dollar store too. They often have some of these things during this time of the year.
- 3 hurricane glass candle holders (you can also use some plain glasses of different heights)
- 3 pillar candles that are just a bit smaller than the width of the holders (any colors will do. I used complementary fall colors)
- 2 feet of plain jute twine
- 4 silk leaves in autumn colors. Real leaves would work fine too but would get brittle if the display is left too long.
- Bag of un-popped popcorn
- Autumn floral pick
- Pine cones
How to make the easy DIY fall hurricane popcorn table decoration
The table decoration is super easy to make. Basically, it’s just pouring, tying leaves, and using something to add height.
Add the popcorn
- Pour some popcorn into the bottom of the glass holders.
- The amount of popcorn that you need will depend on where you want the candles to sit in the glass holders.
Tie the leaves around the candles
- Place the silk leaves on the candles and tie them with a piece of the jute.
- I used one leaf for the smaller candles and two for the larger ones.
Put the candles in the jar
- Put the candles down in the glass jars.
- Then pour a little bit more popcorn around the base of each candle.
Display the hurricane candles
- Arrange the candles in a pleasing formation.
- I used an up turned glass bowl to give me the middle height since I had two smaller glasses of a similar size.
- Place the autumn floral pick, loose autumn leaves and pinecones at the base of the decoration.
The popcorn table decoration would look great on a dining table, an occasional table, or even a mantle.
You could even set them out at your Thanksgiving gathering because the popcorn in the jars represents one of the main symbols of Thanksgiving – corn.
The candles can be used alone or in groups to create a centerpiece effect.
Easy peasy, very inexpensive if you use supplies on hand or from the Dollar store, and yet it looks very effective.

Although I’m usually ready to pull out my fall décor by the time September starts, I’m finding myself a little uninspired this year (perhaps because we’re still experiencing 90+ temperatures!), so thank you for this easy, yet beautiful DIY project. I just happen to have almost all of the supplies on hand, so I’m going to put it together–it’ll be my first official fall project of the year!
