Thanksgiving Decoration – Floral Tealight Holder

✨ Christmas Update — Make This a Holiday Candle Holder

This floral tealight holder SVG has become one of my favorite Christmas cardstock crafts to cut with my Cricut. Swap the original fall colors for winter whites, icy silvers, or classic holiday reds and greens, pop in an LED tealight, and you instantly have a glowing Christmas candle centerpiece. It pairs beautifully with Christmas villages, mantel displays, and winter tablescapes — and looks magical nestled into evergreen branches or faux snow. But this design isn’t limited to Christmas — keep reading to see how it transforms for any season.

One of the things I love most about this project is how versatile it is. By simply changing the cardstock colors, you can use this candle holder for any occasion — think garden parties in greens and pinks, woodland baby showers, or winter wonderlands in snowy whites.

My personal favorite version is this all-white one shown below: no flowers, just elegant layered leaves that create the most magical shadows when the LED tealight glows. It gives you a Christmas look that feels elevated and timeless — a beautiful alternative to the usual snowflakes and trees.

If you’re planning something a little sweeter, this design also doubles beautifully as a treat holder. I sized the opening to fit a Ferrero Rocher chocolate perfectly, and when you repeat the holders down the center of a table, it creates a stunning edible runner. You can even use them as individual place settings by adding a name tag or small card on top of each chocolate — guests adore taking them home as favors. The layered pink cardstock gives it a romantic, whimsical feel — perfect for Valentine’s Day décor, bridal shower centerpieces, Mother’s Day tablescapes, or a fairy birthday party theme.

Here are the parts that make up this tealight holder:

This tealight holder will hold tealights up to 2 inches in diameter but if you need more space you can easily scale everything up. Just make sure you scale all parts together to the same scale.
