Last year I was honored to have our home featured in the Christmas edition of American Farmhouse Style Magazine. For the shoot, I wanted to create a woodland tablescape that could be decorated for Christmas and then simplified to be enjoyed all winter long.

One of the elements of this tablescape I wanted to create was a birchwood centerpiece that I could use for white candle tapers.

I absolutely loved how it turned out, and now I am sharing this easy DIY with you.

Find the center of the logs and mark it with a light x. Measure 1.5″ to the right and mark with a pen. This is where you will drill. Find the center and repeat the process to the left. These holes would be approximately 3 inches apart.

These holes are number 3 and 4 respectively. Measure another 3 inches to the right of hole #4 and mark. This is hole #5. Measure another 3 inches to the right and this is hole #6. Repeat on the left side for holes #2 and #1.

Place the tapers and make sure they are tight. If the candles are a little loose, then heat the bottom of a candle with a lighter so the wax starts to melt and press it into the candle holder.

Root Candles have been my favorite for many years, but fair warning they are pricey.
