Unique DIY Home Decor Idea: Birch wood can be used for a variety of different projects and some. If you love woodworking then Birch wood can be an ideal choice to decor your living room. See below pictures, These are birch candle holders and they are quite easy to make.
It seems like I’m making or attempting to make things all the time. My
wooden projects don’t always come out the way I envision them in my head, but
this one’s a winner! I LOVE how these turned out. Actually I love each of my wooden projects. However every time I can not be successful. You can transform your home with our inspired decorating ideas like this Birch Wood Candle Holders woodworking projects.
When our birch tree died, I cut up some of the smaller branches and put them on our mantel
in the living room. I’ve been trying to figure out how to use the rest
of the tree. I decided some sort of candle stick or tea light holder
would be great. So, this is what I made.
Last week I started working on these candle holders.
I made them in
sets of 3. I cut an 8″, 6″ and 4″ piece of a branch and then I drilled
out the top with a 1 1/2″ bit.
I had to figure out how to clamp them
down for the drilling, so the I bought a large C clap, that only cost
$12.
Then I just fit placed a tea light in each one. Now when the
candle burns out, I can just replace it with another one.
These are
going to last for years and years. I’m just so pleased with myself. Do
you ever do that? Surprise yourself with a “Wow, I did it!”.
These are going to go really well with all my Christmas decor.
I have a
lots of woodsy, pine-cone and nature like decorations with some sparkle
of course. I love natural elements in my home. Oh I forgot to mention that I really love candle lights, its has a great power to create the most romantic environment. If you love rituals in nights then you will love candle lights and this Birch Wood Candle Holders will help you at the time to be creative.
