Prepare your home for a new season with a branch candle centerpiece

Among all the decorations that you can make yourself for the home, centerpieces are the most popular. They take numerous forms and they can be adapted for any occasion. And since it’s fall and everything starts to change and to get ready for the cold season, it would be nice to take a piece of that inside our homes. Here’s how you can make a lovely branch candle centerpiece.

It’s actually not that difficult once you have selected the proper branch. It might not be perfect from the start but you can make it fit and give it the right balance on the table. Then, once you have done that, it’s time to make room for the tea candles. Establish the center and then space them evenly to the ends. When you start drilling the holes, it would be best to do this part outside if you don’t what your home to get all messy.

Finding a hole bit big enough to make a hole that matches the candles can be difficult. If you don’t have one maybe you can improvise somehow. Make sure you don’t make the holes too deep. If the whole candle is buried it can start a fire bigger than you wished for. Once the holes are done you still need to apply some finishing touches. Take a wood chisel, set it in the bottom of each hole and tap with a hammer going all the way around. Clean the bottom and check if the candle sits properly. Now that you have the most important part of the centerpiece you can decorate it with pumpkins, pinecones, leaves and maybe even some homemade decorations.{found on martysmusings}.
