I’m Shayna from The Wood Grain Cottage and I’m here to share a project with you! Lately, I’ve been completely consumed with all things fall! I’m a big fan of fall projects, decorating, and baking, so it’s safe to say that I love this season! Today, I thought I’d share one of my latest fall projects, a DIY rustic tea light holder made from a fallen aspen log.
Not only do they look really pretty, but they’re also easy to make, and basically free! 😀 We started with your basic aspen limbs that had fallen. We cut each of them to size, making them 4″, 6″ and 8″ tall…
Then, found the center of each limb…
And used our drill press with a 1 1/2 drill bit to cut out the center… (If you don’t have a drill press, this could easily be done with just a regular drill!)
I used a standard tea light…
And we continued drilling until the candle sat flush in the hole…
We did the same thing to each and every one of them…
And then, they were ready to use!
I love them! They’re not only pretty, but they’re completely functional…
And that beautiful tree bark sends them over the edge!
They’re perfectly fall (& winter) and I’m really looking forward to using them throughout the seasons… 😀
