1 clear glass hurricane vase (10 inches tall, 6 inches diameter)

Ensure the glass hurricane vase is clean and dry before beginning.

Place the pillar candle in the center of the vase, ensuring it stands upright.

Using the funnel, if desired, slowly pour the coffee beans around the base of the candle, filling the vase until the beans reach about halfway up the candle.

Gently shake the vase to settle the beans evenly around the candle.

Position the completed candle holder on your deck in a safe, stable location, away from flammable materials and direct wind.

For a personalized touch, consider using flavored coffee beans like vanilla or hazelnut for an added aroma. Swap the plain candle for a scented one to complement the coffee beans' fragrance. For durability, choose a weather-resistant glass vase if the candle holder will remain outside. Add decorative elements such as twine wrapped around the vase's neck or seasonal accents like small pinecones or dried flowers for a festive touch. Experiment with different candle colors to match seasonal themes or existing decor.
