According to momtastic, here are your supplies:

pouring pot (which you can buy on Amazon)
wooden spoon for mixing
pre-waxed wire wicks w/ clips (again, available on Amazon)

Add the pumpkin scent and remove the wax from the heat.

Let the wax cool for 30-45 minutes.  (Don’t skip this step!)

Place the wicks in the center of the pumpkins and slowly pour the wax in.  Ensure that the wicks stay centered.

Let the candles sit and harden overnight.

Trim the wick as needed and voila!!
