I love a rustic touch around the holiday season. It gives your holiday décor a sense of tradition and hominess. Group these birch tea light candle holders together to make a centre piece to add a special touch to your holiday table!

Birch tree branches – about 4 inches in diameter
Saw
Drill with a hole saw bit
Chisel (or alternatively you can use a hammer and a flat head screw driver}
Tea lights
Twine
Directions:
- Cut your branches to size.
- Use the drill with the hole saw bit to cut out a large hole in the centre of the branch.
- Chisel out the centre of the circle so that it is hollow.
- Bundle the branches together and wrap twine around the bundle.
