DIY Birch Candle Holders

If you have some tree branches laying around, why not turn them into something fun?! Birch candle holders are really popular, and for good reason. They smell amazing, look rustic, and are simply beautiful. In her blog, Nina Hendrick reviews how to use real logs to DIY Birch Candle holders.

Simply choose some of the straightest logs, drill a hole in the center for a tea light (make sure some metal stands above the top to keep the flame from the log). After that, create a set of varying height and voila! Amazing DIY candle holders.
