My main approach to DIY home decor is to embrace the unique elements of each season in my color scheme and accent pieces. Luckily fall has so many gorgeous colors and beautiful changes in nature to celebrate! Of all the color palettes, I must say that fall includes some of my very favorite hues. Emerald greens, shades of plum and warm, inviting yellows – it doesn’t get any better! These wheat candle wraps are a simple project to add some fall elements to your living room or dining room.
You can use any sort of specialty paper for these wheat candle wraps, but we used some of our favorite gold text weight metallic papers. Playing off my favorite fall color scheme, we made candle wraps in copper and rich golds. Download the SVG cut file below to use with your cutting machine. To create an abundant look perfect for fall, we wrapped our candles three times with the wheat design. Each wrap will use one sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper. The number of times that you wrap the paper around the candle of course depends on your preference and how large your specific candles are.
You can secure the ends of your wraps together using an adhesive roller or a glue gun. Make sure to stagger the wheat stocks when you are wrapping your candle for the full look. Once you add your wheat candle wraps, you can wrap some twine around the center bands for a rustic twist. Tie a bow or a knot, it’s up to you! When your candles are ready you can display them as a simple centerpiece on your dining room table or sprinkle them around your living room or mantel. Our wheat candle wraps look especially great as Halloween or Thanksgiving decor. For more inspiration check out all of our DIY home decor projects. Enjoy! ~ Lia & team

[…] Wheat Candle Wraps – Lia Griffith […]
Hi Lia,
Beautiful work! I’m having trouble figuring out what paper it is I should order on paper-papers. Is it the 80 lb?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Margaret! Look for “Shop this Project” at the bottom of the post and you will see three links– they will take you directly to the paper colors we used. They’re all 81lb text 🙂
Another wonderful project to use my Cricut Explore for, what fun this is for me. Was kinda concerned would break it somehow seeing as am digitally challenged but it’s still doing well. So many awesome projects to keep me busy. Love the ribbon bracelets. Wondering if grand daughter would like them? She’s getting more persnickety since she’s gotten older, was 16 this past April. She is youngest of grand kids.
Better get busy. Have great weekend all.
So glad we can keep you busy with fun projects! 🙂

Hi Lia,
May I ask where you got your battery-operated candles? I’m looking to duplicate this project and love the various candles height. Thank you.
